I Went To The House But Did Not Enter - T1376806657I Went To The House But Did Not Enter is a staged concert in three tableaux, composed by Heiner Goebbels and magnificiently performed by the world-famous Hilliard Ensemble. The tableaux are dedicated to four key twentieth-century literary texts by T.S. Eliot, Maurice Blanchot, Franz Kafka and Samuel Beckett. Although markedly different, each text focuses on a fragmented and anonymous protagonist, an anti-hero who embarks on a journey to everywhere and nowhere. Through imaginative staging and a wonderfully restrained vocal presence that is strikingly different from the performance style often found on the operatic stage, the four singers bring each story vividly to life. Running time: 105mins with no interval.Producer Theatre Vidy-Lausanne (Swtzerland). Director Heiner Goebbels. Design Klaus Grunberg. Lighting Klaus Grunberg. | |
