WELKOM ∙ BIENVENUE ∙ WELCOME
Tonight's concert weaves together three stories about desire, with music by Van Parys, Boulanger, and Ravel. Each story is different: shaped by another form of desire, told from another voice. Brussels Philharmonic invited slam poet and Brussels city poet Lisette Ma Neza to explore these stories through her own lens. How does she weave them together? Which words does she add to reveal hidden worlds?
With music, word, and image, this concert invites us to reflect on what sparks desire and sets it in motion. Lisette Ma Neza writes a poetic prologue for each piece, in live dialogue with rapper and actor Pitcho. During the music, her words are visually brought to life by motion designer Ychaï Gassenbauer.
Step into the story of Daphnis et Chloé: where music, spoken word, and visual poetry merge, leaving space for the audience to imagine their own perspectives and desires.
