Performance: Liv Kristin Holmberg In the Dark Hour*
It is a ritual for meeting the darkness, Les Ténèbres: a meeting with oneself.
The title is taken from the ninth section of Olivier Messiaen’s final work for organ, Le Livre du Saint -Sacrament (The Book of the Holy Sacrament), which provides the basis of the musical content. The performance is philosophically grounded in Heidegger’s concept of being- towards-death, where an encounter with one’s own fear and pain can be thought of as an opening of recognition; an opportunity to become real, to become ourselves.
