Filip Peeters, Van van Beethoven (try-out)

Beethoven is 200 years dead. Leve Beethoven! Even though he was already dead before he was born but that is… well his life, a fight against death. Peeters, De Schrijver, Miller, and Van den Brande blow the classical composer back to life. Even though he did not like that. Of classical. He was rather modern. Then. Revolutionary. But what was modern yesterday, is today of yesterday Fortunately, he will also still be there tomorrow, because Beethoven remains beautiful. Even though he has been dead for so long. ‘Most are afraid to be human They walk around all their life with the same face That is why there is art In it we become truly human In art and war The masks fall’ A man who stubbornly tries to be his authentic self, desperately in search of beauty and meaning. A tormented mind, 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.’ Credits: Van Ludwig van Beethoven Tekst: by Joris Van den Brande Regie: by Damiaan De Schrijver Tourneuse the pages: by An Miller
