Like a dream
In a dream, the impossible becomes possible, distant images come closer and the
the usual course of time is suspended. Also, by dreaming, we experience new situations in
an environment paradoxically populated by familiar objects, places and characters.
This recital aims to reproduce a dreamlike experience. Les Fantiasiestücke op.12 by Robert
Schumann are the guiding principle. This collection of eight pieces for piano is freely inspired by
Fantasiestücke by E.T.H.H. Hoffman, tales in which dreams and fantasy play a role
of the foreground. Throughout the recital, Schumann's pieces will alternate with works from the 21st century.
century which also have a link with or evoke a dreamlike dimension. It's like a dream,
distant worlds will be merged and time will be suspended...
