For his new 2016 creation, Alain Platel is surrounding himself with a few people he has worked with before. Composer Steven Prengels worked with Platel on Gardenia, C(H)OEURS, tauberbach and En avant, marche!. Here - using Mahler lieder as his basis - he creates a soundscape, for which he also uses samples from nature and ambient sound. Congolese singers Boule Mpanya and Russell Tshiebua (who also worked with Platel in Coup Fatal) provide the polyphony. For the stage set, Platel is collaborating for the first time with Berlinde De Bruyckere. His inspiration is the troubled early years of the 20th century, which eventually led to the First World War.
