From near-death experiences, fluctuating states of consciousness and the border between the realm of the living and the dead: ‘Is this the end?’ doesn’t shy away from age-old ethical, scientific and artistic conundrums. The second part of our ‘virtual programme’ sees composer Jean-Luc Fafchamps and librettist Éric Brucher engage with neurology professor Steven Laureys (Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Liège) to gauge how science and art follow different paths in search for answers.

Is this the end? | Jean-Luc Fafchamps & Éric Brucher

To start the opera season, La Monnaie commissioned a pop requiem from the Belgian composer Jean-Luc Fafchamps. With the title Is this the end?, this new piece has three parts. The first part, Dead little girl, will be presented in September, as a unique video production combining cinema and live opera. Broadcast directly from La Monnaie, you will only be able to experience it at home via streaming.

Éric Brucher’s libretto introduces us to a teenager who is caught between life and death and faces other characters hovering in a transitory state of ‘departing consciousness’. With the current Coronavirus crisis, this theme takes on a particular meaning in that many victims’ families or loved ones have been unable to say goodbye to them.

Ingrid von Wantoch Rekowski directs, aiming to give life to this ‘Mass’ of people who are half alive. Presented in a brand-new format, the show combines a film — shot in La Monnaie buildings — with live performances by seventeen musicians from La Monnaie Symphony Orchestra, eighteen vocalists from La Monnaie Chorus and three soloist singers.
