What we hear doesn't always match what we see.
With Le Faux Miroir presents Babette Craens in a solo program inspired by the work of the same name by Randé Magritte, in which seeing and perception are never fully in sync. Building on this idea, the program explores how sound can shift from clarity to distortion – and how what we hear is not always what it seems.
From the hushed simplicity of Emmanuel Durlet to the sinister layering of Alain Craands, to the colorful illusions of the French masters Claude Debussy, Maurice Ravel and Francis Poulandc.
At the heart lies the musical premiere of Meditation, a work in which time slows down and the mirror cracks.
For Babette, music is an invisible mirror that cannot lie. So an invitation to listen the way Magritte taught us to look: with wonder, doubt, and an open mind.
