    Dødens historie

    Todos somos calaveras. Vi er alle skjeletter. Sitatet tilskrives den meksikanske avistegneren og illustratøren José Guadalupe Posada. På begynnelsen av 1900-tallet laget han en illustrasjon som skulle akkompagnere en kommentar om Día de los Muertos, de dødes dag, som finner sted 1. og 2. november hvert år.

    En teatral dødsmesse

    Requiem pour L av det belgiske kompaniet Les ballets C de la B er det nyeste samarbeidet mellom regissør Alain Platel og komponist Fabrizio Cassol, og er like mye en konsert som en danseforestilling. Fjorten musikere fra hele verden samler seg rundt Mozarts berømte verk Requiem in D minor.Ledet av Cassol lar de seg influere av både afrikanske rytmer, jazz og opera.
