Spokepersons

What does Ravel have to do with DNA modification? What does Saint-Saëns have to do with animal rights? What may seem incompatible at first glance actually has connections upon closer inspection. Spokepersons is a traveling concert series that combines classical music with contemporary stories. Spokepersons connects the voices of well-known actors Ellen ten Damme, Soumaya Ahouaoui, and Lars Brinkman with the music of top Dutch ensembles. Together, they weave provocative stories about today’s world with corresponding classical music works into one new narrative. Told and performed simultaneously, as a theatrical music story and presented by Flemish theater maker Lucas de Man.
