An unmissable innovative film and music event. Distinguished baritone Dietrich Henschel sings the entire collection of Mahler鈥檚 24 鈥榃underhorn鈥� songs, 10 of which are orchestrated by Detlev Glanert, in sync with a new film - a tragic love story set in the Great War. Director Clara Pons aims to reveal the thematic unity between these songs, each inspired by one of the poems in the anthology which was such a rich resource for Mahler. Pons has reordered the songs to reveal the prophetic vision they contain of love, dreams and a war to end all wars. Henschel, hailed for his emotional and dramatic intensity, both sings on stage and takes a leading role in the near-silent film.
Film certificate 18*. Contains nudity and scenes of sexual violence.
