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 bring the classical composer back to life.
Even though 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 are afraid to be human
They walk around their whole life 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 looking 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 am, I think, so good."
