Haas in the Dark
For JACK Quartet’s final performance as the “Portrait Musicians” at the Festival d'Automne à Paris, the quartet performs Georg Friedrich Haas’ In iij Noct in absolute darkness. The playing space becomes distended, each of the members of the quartet being as far away as possible from each other, and surrounding the audience. The duration of the work is also rendered mobile, in constant evolution. The audience finds itself left to the discretion of the musicians, deprived of sight and who communicate only through what they play, plunged in the immersive power of darkness.

Program:
Georg Friedrich Haas, In iij Noct. (2001)

Presented in collaboration by Théâtre de la Ville-Paris and the Festival d’Automne à Paris.

La Fondation d'entreprise Société Générale is the main sponsor of the Portrait JACK Quartet.
