Synopsis
DEATH, SEX AND ETERNITY preoccupied legendary Québécois composer Claude Vivier. His was a dangerous and tumultuous life lived beyond the limits, traversing the very edge of human experience in order to uncover and bring back a new sound. Birth, life, death, and then… what? What comes after “the end”?
Fully staged for the first time ever, Soundstreams’ production of Musik für das Ende features a diverse vocal ensemble, actor, percussion and synthesizers. In it, the audience is transported beyond place and time, where we become completely immersed in Vivier’s world of pure sound and light. (soundstreams.ca)
