Samstag aus Licht

Edit






Samstag aus Licht (Saturday from Light) is a part of a series of seven operas to which Stockhausen dedicated all his work between 1977 and 2003. Every opera in Licht is dedicated to a day of the week, its corresponding planet, and a strict organization of the symbolism and ritual. Placed in the orbit of Saturn, Saturday is the day of Lucifer, and, according to the composer, the day of death, of the dance of death, of goodbye, and of the passage to light. Lucifer is represented by a bass, a trombone player, and a dancer; he incarnated one of the archetypes of the full work, opposite Eva and Michael. On stage, a blaze of music and visuals: ceremony, incantation, childhood nightmares share this day that ends beyond the Cité de la musique in the  Saint Jacques Saint Christophe church, with Lucifer’s farewells, the flight of the crows, and breaking nutshells. A poetic and sonic creations, choreographic and visual, carried by the artistic forces and total commitment of the Balcon.
