𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗴𝗿𝗮𝗺:
Pēteris Vasks - Distant Light
Dmitri Shostakovich - Symphony No. 10
With screening of the film by William Kentridge, "Oh To Believe In Another World" (2022)
In Distant Light, Pēteris Vasks writes music as an act of fragile faith. Lorenzo Gatto sustains this stillness with a tone that captures shimmering light while holding onto tension. In stark contrast stands Dmitri Shostakovich’s Tenth Symphony.
William Kentridge returns to the world of this composer with a 50-minute film conceived as a dynamic visual counterpart to the Symphony No. 10. Through a mix of collage, performance, and a highly distinctive visual style, the film looks back at the decades from the 1920s to the 1950s, seen from the perspective of 1953, the year of Stalin’s death and the symphony’s premiere.
