Music theatre (théâtre musical) poem for Lights, Masks, Flute, English Horn, Harp and Percussion
âRelations lumineusesâ (in French) - âLuminous relationsâ explores the social relations between individuals and incarnated abstract âsoulsâ. The purpose is to give musicians an
unconscious approach of incantation, an opportunity to develop and stimulate abstract relations and communications beyond the visible. They go towards each other as an ideal
however they never touch each other. They will meet musically.
What happens if the speech and music deviates and is not going directly to the target?
Three masks are interposed between 4 performers and the audience. The masks have their own evolution and become âautonomousâ from the musicians desires. They become
also performers and embody dramatic roles.
An excerpt of the poem collection âPoemele luminiiâ, 1919 (Poems of Light) by the Romanian poet/philosopher Lucian BLAGA (1895 Lancram - 1961 Cluj-Napoca) has been used in the
piece. The poem excerpt may be recited either in Romanian, French or English.
