Victoria Vita Poleva: Turn the River

Although they evolved in very different contexts, Liszt and Shostakovich shared a taste for monumental and contrasting scores. Liszt constructed his Concerto in the form of variations: the theme with Hungarian accents passes through all the colours, from tender to martial, from intimate to brilliant. Born a few months after Stalin’s death in 1953, Shostakovich’s Tenth Symphony testifies to a relief, after years of tense relations with the authorities – it was nicknamed the “Symphony of the Thaw”. All the clouds had not disappeared, but the composer could now hope for a less gloomy future, and the symphony ends joyfully.

The phone lies unlocked in her hand. Her heart is pounding in her throat, she can hear her breathing and the rush of her blood. This moment is dizzying. But it seems worth the sacrifice: a better world for everyone.

Simeon ten Holt: Canto Ostinato (Introdans)

In a windless prologue accompanied by the rippling piano sounds of Simeon ten Holt’s Canto Ostinato, the dancers prepare themselves for what is to come. They hang off balance as if leaning against the wind. Their arms cleave the air. They are ready for battle.
