Rieteke Hölscher – Keystones deel 1 – Creatie
A bird’s eye view of our sustainable Mother Earth. Bible stories contain an ancient, universal wisdom that wants to make itself known in a personal way. Taking up the iconic Biblical / mythological characters Lilith and Eve, the composer provides a personal vision and highlights themes from human life in which ancient and modern worlds come together. In these opening scenes, complex emotions of humanity through the ages – such as faith, temptation, exile, love, fear and hope – are musically brought to life.
