Desnor / Louis Janssens: Serenade (De Brakke Grond)

Serenade is an eclectic score composed of recognizable and lesser-known voices. A whimsical party where love is queer; disruptive, connecting, fluid and elusive. Inspired by Franz Schubert, Louis Janssens imagines a night in which a web of stories, songs and texts come together. In this way a world of thoughts and feelings unfolds in which the great emotions are not shunned. Associating, quoting, dancing and singing become a form of greeting to the other.

Nothing or nobody exists in itself: as human beings we are always indebted to the people who move behind, around and before us. We exist by grace of the other – dead or alive – across the ages. With that in mind, Serenade wants to be an invitation to look, to question and to be curious about that which stimulates and inspires us.

Serenade has been selected for the #nieuwjong program  line at the TheaterFestival in Antwerp.
