Obsession

Is it possible to create, in concert, a ‘safe space’ that allows us to surrender to the exhilaration of sound, to experience a positive state in which total abandonment is possible? This is where the ambition of this programme lies. Through the idea of obsession and that of the more musical ‘leitmotif’, Bestion brings together and articulates three great contemporary figures in an attempt to find the keys to a physical and immediate experience of sound: Arvo Pärt, Jehan Alain and Philipp Glass.
