De Materie as a physical experience of music and movement.
With De Materie, Louis Andriessen created one of the most influential and idiosyncratic works in contemporary music. In four parts, he interweaves different layers of time and ideas - from mediaeval mysticism and the Dutch Revolt to the worlds of Mondrian and Marie Curie. The result is a layered musical construction in which matter and spirit are in constant dialogue.
Director Phia Ménard and choreographic duo Kor’sia, previously guests at DE SINGEL, translate this monument into an intense total experience. Music, dance, and scenography intertwine and remain in constant motion, making De Materie a work you not only hear, but also physically experience.
This new production is being performed at Opera Ballet Vlaanderen, in co-presentation with DE SINGEL.
