Pärt: Adam's Passion

WILSON ESTONIAN PHILHARMONIC CHAMBER CHOIR CHILDS TALLINN CHAMBER ORCHESTRA THEOPHANOUS KALJUSTE

Adam’s Passion is the moving first collaboration between two “masters of slow motion who harmonize perfectly with each other”. In the spectacular setting of a former submarine factory, American director and universal artist Robert Wilson creates a poetic visual world in which the mystical musical language of the Estonian composer Arvo Pärt can cast its meditative spell. Alongside three of Pärt’s major works, Adam’s Lament, Tabula rasa, and Miserere, a new work composed especially for this production, Sequentia, is included. These works are brought together using light, space, and movement to create a tightly-woven Gesamtkunstwerk in which the artistic visions of these two great artists mirror each other. “You see, this story is your story, one that questions me. And this story is my story, one that responds to you. This is our common story. The story of Adam is the story of all mankind. And it is one of tragedy.” – Arvo Pärt
