Zafraan takes you on a journey to L. Berio with exciting consequences...
The game starts, Liam gives the signal: This is our language. We wait briefly, the rhythm grows, the earth turns. In two hours, 75 years and several continents appear. Explosive? Implosive? Sensually balanced?
As a prelude to the celebration of the great Luciano Berio in the Berlin Philharmonie, the ensemble presents a foretaste of his musical oeuvre with a stringent narrative.
