Ancestral Modernism: Xenakis, Mytologi & Arkitektur

Som en del af KLANG-festival 2023 kan komponisten Iannis Xenakis’ slagtøjsværk, det epokegørende og sjældent opførte Persephassa, opleves i Den Kongelige Operas store foyer.

Malthe Folke Ivarsson

Æren af at være hele verdens arkitekturhovedstad tilfalder i år København. Der findes næppe en bedre lejlighed til at opføre et af komponisten, arkitekten, matematikeren, musikteoretikeren og computermusikpioneren Iannis Xenakis' allermest arkitektoniske værker: Det epokegørende og sjældent opførte slagtøjsværk Persephassa (1969), der hermed uropføres i København. Og der findes næppe et bedre sted at gøre det ind i foyeren til Henning Larsens ikoniske, neo-futuristiske Operahus. 

Her vil den Taiwanesiske slagtøjsvirtuos Ying-Hsueh Chen, der står bag koncertprojektet Ancestral Modernism, og perkussionister fra Det Kongelige Teater opfører Xenakis' værk – et værk, der, ved at bygge bro mellem musikken og arkitekturen, bliver til et pludseligt aktuelt gesamtkunstwerk.

WHO SPEAKS FOR THE FUTURE? Architecture of intergenerational Democracy
Democracy has long relied on a quiet assumption: that decisions can be revisited, corrected, undone. That it will, eventually, be someone else’s turn. But what happens when decisions no longer remain reversible?
