Beethoven has been dead for 200 years. Leve Beethoven!
Although he was already dead before he was born, but that is ... well his life, a battle against death.
Peeters, Miller, De Schrijver and Van den Brande bring the classical composer back to life. Although he didn't like that. Classical. He was rather modern. Back then. Revolutionary. But what was modern yesterday is yesterday's news today. Fortunately, he will still be there tomorrow, because Beethoven remains beautiful. Even though he has been dead for so long.
Most people are afraid to be human.
They walk around their whole lives with the same face.
That is why there is art.
In it, we become truly human.
In art and war, the masks fall off.
A man who stubbornly tries to be his authentic self, desperately searching for beauty and meaning.
A tormented spirit, a big heart, a sick body.
‘I am satisfied with almost nothing, I find it all bad.
That is why I think I am so good.’
