Van van Beethoven - by Filip Peeters and An Miller

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. 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 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 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.’
