LA PASSION DE SIMONE
Το Πάθος της Σιμόν είναι ένα ορατόριο που συνέθεσε ο Kaija Saariaho πάνω σ΄
ένα λιμπρέτο στα γαλλικά από τον Amin Maalouf, για πρώτη φορά σε μια
σκηνή του Peter Sellars, αφιερωμένο στη μνήμη της Εβραίας αναρχικής φιλοσόφου Σιμόν Βέιλ, που πήρε μέρος στον Ισπανικό Εμφύλιο και πέθανε μόλις στα 34 χρόνια της .
How many lives can a person live in just 34 years? Before her early death, the French-Jewish philosopher and mystic Simone Weil took part in the Spanish Civil War, worked in a refugee camp, in a factory and as a teacher.
Forever on the move in search of new truths.
The oratorio La Passion de Simone is the third of four collaborations between the Finnish composer and Polar Prize laureate Kaija Saariaho with the French-Lebanese author Amin Maalouf, starting with the highly acclaimed L’amour de loin.
On the structure of Bach’s Passions, Saariaho’s unique and suspenseful score, performed by court singer Anne Sofie von Otter as a soloist, immerses the listener in the life and thoughts of Simone Weil.
