Pol Pi/ Ci No Drama & Solistenensemble Kaleidoskop
IN YOUR HEAD
A STRING QUARTET IN MOTION
What happens in the musician’s body when they play? How does music make a body move, or even dance, very concretely and precisely, but also invisibly inside?
IN YOUR HEAD, is based on an important 20th-century piece of music: the String Quartet No 8 in C minor by Dmitri Shostakovich. While studying classical music, Pol Pi played this emblematic piece by the Russian composer, dedicated to “the victims of war and fascism”, and experienced an even physical intensity, the impact of which he feels to this day. He now reproduces its agonising echo in a stage form, together with four musicians.
