The Arabic word barzakh refers to a border space between two worlds in which deceased souls must wait in a state of sleep for a final judgment before they can travel further. It is a recognisable situation for people who are awaiting trial in pre-trial detention, as becomes apparent from conversations between them and theatre maker Thomas Bellinck. During workshops in the prisons of Ghent and Antwerp, they write a new performance together and determine what is presented on stage. The opera repertoire serves as a starting point: in operas we often see criminal acts and incarceration in a romanticised way, but does this correspond to reality? Composer Osama Abdulrasol translates the material from the workshops into music for singers and chamber orchestra. Barzakh questions the world views that emerge from operas and takes a critical look at the prison system.

English

Het Arabische woord barzakh slaat op een grensruimte tussen twee werelden waarin gestorven zielen in slaaptoestand moeten wachten op een laatste oordeel voor ze verder kunnen reizen. Het is een herkenbare situatie voor mensen die in voorarrest hun proces afwachten, zo blijkt uit gesprekken tussen hen en theatermaker Thomas Bellinck. Tijdens workshops in de gevangenissen van Gent en Antwerpen schrijven ze samen een nieuwe voorstelling en bepalen ze wat op het podium komt. Het operarepertoire dient als uitgangspunt: in opera's krijgen we criminele feiten en opsluiting vaak op een geromantiseerde manier te zien, maar resoneert dat met de werkelijkheid? Componist Osama Abdulrasol vertaalt het materiaal uit de workshops naar muziek voor zangers en kamerorkest. Barzakh stelt vragen bij de wereldbeelden die uit opera’s voortvloeien en werpt een kritische blik op het gevangeniswezen.
