HERMESensemble and kleinVerhaal perform renewed version of Ensoriades at KMSKA
On 28 November 2024, Klein Verhaal and HERMESensemble will perform a renewed version of Ensoriades at the beautiful Royal Museum of Fine Arts Antwerp (KMSKA). This special performance will be presented twice: at 7pm and again at 8.30pm.
The original version of the Ensoriades premiered earlier in Ostend as part of Mu.ZEE’s exhibition Rose, Rose, Rose à mes yeux. Now, on the occasion of the Ensor exhibition Ensor’s Wildest Dreams at KMSKA, we bring a new interpretation to the museum’s first floor.
This version makes the link between Ensor’s unique world and the paintings of the first floor, including such works as Strelingen van licht, Les Dunes Immaculées, Parody Wagner and Coquillage. The result is a series of 12 songs, created by both groups of musicians, combined with a walking experience along the master’s sublime paintings.
As Ensor himself said, ‘For life!…. And for struggle.”
