Benedicte Tauran, Simon Peguiron, Pablo Barragan, Orchestre Musique des Lumieres, Facundo Agudin - The D�rrenmatt Project

The Swiss writer Friedrich Durrenmatt, whose birth centenary was in 2021, is the protagonist of the second instalment of the MUSIC & WORDS series proposed by Facundo Agudin and Musique des Lumieres in collaboration with Ibs Classical. The ensemble, whose activity shines from the Swiss Jura, sought to pay tribute to the unfairly forgotten artist. The occasion of his centenary has seen his works return to bookshops in recent months and their reappraisal beyond the borders of his native country.The Durrenmatt Project is the multifaceted tribute with which Facundo Agudin and Musique des Lumieres want to vindicate the figure of a protean and committed artist: from Pfluger�s thrilling tragicomedy Jedes Kunstwerk ist apokalyptisch - oder Bach und Durrenmatt (Every work of art is apocalyptic - or Bach and Durrenmatt) to the sardonic and imaginative score of The Minotaure by Genessey-Rappo, passing through the discourse between the atavistic and the experimental of Respiro (Breathe) by Perez-Ramirez and the mystical and textural sonority of Stoff by Sont�n Caflisch. These four scores highlight Durrenmatt as a writer and a visual artist; in short, one of the most authentic and respected thinkers of the 20th century.
