Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker and Rosas Verklärte Nacht ( Transfigured Night) 01 Feb 2019
Verklärte Nacht (Transfigured Night) is based on Schönbergs late romantic music for strings and a poem by Richard Dehmel about a woman who, one moonlit night, confesses in a wood to the man she loves that she is pregnant with the child of another man. The poems scene resonates in the musics persistent strings, at times heavily loaded with passion, at times subtle as a timid voice, seemingly in unison with its protagonist s ordeal.
