Septet (for four) | Belfast International Arts Festival
The Belfast Ensemble reinvent Beethoven with their new work, Septet (for four) at Belfast International Arts Festival.
Fresh after the success of their genre-busting Abomination – A DUP Opera, The Belfast Ensemble premiere a new work – SEPTET (FOR FOUR).
Created to mark the 250th birthday of Beethoven, the piece of video performance art takes as its source material his ground-breaking Septet – a work whose fame almost eclipsed the composers in his early years!
Performed by seven soloists, the music forms a backdrop to a quartet of actors, each living their own stories in space and time, each without words.
With their trademark cutting-edge visuals and high European design aesthetic, this Belfast original shines new light on the genius of Beethoven’s early music.
