‘It was pain itself, singing behind a smile,’ wrote Federico García Lorca, outwardly happy, inwardly torn.
He didn’t write to please, but to rip open the heart and then restore it, perfected. He left us vivid descriptions of the authentic Spain, where life seems to be an instinctive battle between impossible love and the omnipresence of death.
Tijdens dit Poëtisch concertparcours gaan we in de muziek, geïnspireerd door Lorca’s schrijfsels, op zoek naar ‘duende’, de donkere ziel van de flamenco, de huiver van de betraande lach.
