REVELATIONS
Wim Henderickx, HERMESensemble and Muziektheater Transparant
Revelations is a multimedia production based on the striking visions of the 13th-century poetess and mystic Hadewijch d’Anvers (s.d. - 1248).
Hers are among the most astonishing writings in the history of our literature. In her visions, in the tradition of mediaeval Christian mysticism, she describes an ecstatic loving relationship with the divine Other, the key word is passion.
In a setting in which the soprano Lore Binon is placed opposite five female singers of Vlaams Radiokoor, this work seeks out the power of visionary experiences and ecstasy in our contemporary context.
Wim Henderickx composed this new work (2017) in which we hear the inspiration taken from mediaeval and Renaissance music for female voices.
