Udi Perlman, Ilgın Ulku: aeterneA - an interreligious requiem for all people
"aeterneA" is a compositional reinterpretation of the "German Requiem" by Johannes Brahms. First performed over 150 years ago, Brahms used it to express his confrontation with the transience of life, loss and ultimately consolation. How can a German Requiem sound in such a diverse, multidimensional society? Taking Brahms' composition as a starting point, the composition team has developed and reinterpreted it in terms of sound and interreligion. Diverse cultural horizons and a cross-religious longing for peace are united in "aeterneA" through artistic reflections from Islamic Sufism, West African syncretic musical traditions and Jewish-Hebrew impulses. "aeterneA" aims to open up space for togetherness in diversity.
This range of topics will also be addressed in the discussion accompanying the concert between MdB Claudia Roth (Federal Government Commissioner for Culture and the Media) and Prof. Dr. Kathrin Winkler (Protestant University of Nuremberg).
