  • I Silenti the Next Creation of Fabrizio Cassol and Tcha Limberger Directed by Lisaboa Houbrechts
    I SILENTI THE NEXT CREATION OF FABRIZIO CASSOL AND TCHA LIMBERGER DIRECTED BY LISABOA HOUBRECHTS Notre Dame de la détérioration © The Estate of Erwin Blumenfeld, photo Erwin Blumenfeld vers 1930 THE GOAL For several years Fabrizio Cassol has been concentrating on this form, said to be innovative, between concert, opera, dance and theatre. It brings together several artistic necessities and commitments, with the starting point of previously composed music that follows its own narrative. His recent projects, such as Coup Fatal and Requiem pour L. with Alain Platel and Macbeth with Brett Bailey, are examples of this. “I Silenti proposes to be the poetical expression of those who are reduced to silence, the voiceless, those who grow old or have disappeared with time, the blank pages of non-written letters, blindness, emptiness and ruins that could be catalysers to other ends: those of comfort, recovery, regeneration and beauty.” THE MUSIC Monteverdi’s Madrigals, the first vocal music of our written tradition to express human emotions with its dramas, passions and joys. These Madrigals, composed between 1587 and 1638, are mainly grouped around three themes: love, separation and war. The music is rooted, for the first time, in the words and their meaning, using poems by Pétraque, Le Tasse or Marino. It is during the evolution of this form and the actual heart of these polyphonies that Monteverdi participated in the creation of the Opera as a new genre. Little by little the voices become individualized giving birth to “arias and recitatives”, like suspended songs prolonging the narrative of languorous grievances.

    Nederlands: pagina 3 Français : page 8 English: page 13 Musici / Musiciens: pagina / page 19 2 “One happy thing about sound was that I could control the music, so I composed my own. I tried to compose elegant and romantic music to frame my comedies in contrast to the tramp character, for elegant music gave my comedies an emotional dimension. Musical arrangers rarely understood this. They wanted the music to be funny. But I would explain that I wanted no competition, I wanted the music to be a counterpoint of grave and charm, to express sentiment, without which, as Hazlitt says, a work of art is incomplete. (...) Nothing is more adventurous and exciting than to hear the tunes one has composed played for the first time by a fifty piece orchestra.“ - Charles Chaplin 3 WELKOM De magie van Charlie Chaplin blijft ook na bijna 100 jaar fantastisch indrukwekkend, ontroerend en hilarisch. De sympathieke zwerver, die ondanks zijn goede bedoelingen toch steeds weer in de problemen raakt, laat ons allemaal, klein én groot, lachen en nadenken. De meester zorgt gelukkig steeds voor een happy end, en componeerde ook voor The Kid zelf de prachtige muziek. Een pareltje. PROGRAMMA The Kid (1921) Charles Chaplin, regie & muziek (arr.
