From from Beethoven

Beethoven has been dead for 200 years. Leve Beethoven! Even though he was already dead before he was born, but that is... well, his life, a struggle against death. Peeters, De Schrijver, Miller and Van den Brande breathe life back into the classical composer. Even though he didn't like that. Classical music. He was more modern. Back then. Revolutionary. But what was modern yesterday, is today from yesterday. 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.” Van Ludwig van Beethoven, Joris Van den Brande (text), Damiaan de Schrijver (direction), An Miller (page turner), Filip Peeters (performance), Sonista (technique)
