Il vostro dipartir - a scenic dying experiment

"Il vostro dipartir – a musical-scenic attempt on dying" explores the themes of farewell and mourning from historical and contemporary perspectives. Featuring works by Johann Sebastian Bach, Maddalena Casulana, Josquin Desprez, Claudio Monteverdi, Henry Purcell, and others, the evening aims to create a musical and choreographic space for individual grief and its collective experience. Three dancers, a choreographed choir (The Ensemble suppléments musicaux), and an instrumental ensemble will collaborate with the audience to shape this musical and dance space of contemplation. The performance of "Il vostro dipartir" will take place on November 22 and 23 at the Petruskirche in Bern and on November 24 at the City Church in Biel.
