Iscenesat Festival: Øjeblikket – en litteraturkoncert

What happens in that single moment when music, art or a sudden realisation changes everything? Actor Søren Sætter-Lassen and the internationally recognised Trio con Brio meet in The Moment, a sensory literary concert about those rare moments when inspiration strikes, a masterpiece comes into being, or an encounter with art opens the door to an entirely new world.

With Søren Kierkegaard's idea of 'The Absolute Now' as the focal point, literature and classical music are woven together into one unified narrative. Texts by Stefan Zweig, Inger Christensen, Søren Kierkegaard and Haruki Murakami meet music by, amongst others, Bach, Mozart, Beethoven, Handel and Per Nørgård.

We experience Handel in the vertiginous moment of creation, where the Messiah takes shape, Kierkegaard's overwhelming encounter with Mozart's Don Giovanni and Murakami's Hoshino, whose world suddenly changes when he hears Beethoven's Archduke Trio. The Moment moves freely between music and literature and invites the audience into the wondrous machinery of art.

A tribute in words and tones to inspiration and to art's ability in a single moment to change the way we see the world. The event begins with an opening concert with students from MGK Zealand. ...........................................

Staged Staged Festival brings classical music, literature and performance art together in new, living encounters. Here the art forms are equal and are allowed to challenge, complement and enrich one another.

Music gains new perspectives through words and narratives, while literature and performance gain new dimensions through music. The result is staged experiences where the art forms together create something that none of them could create alone.

The Festival was founded in 2024 and is currently arranged in collaboration between Teaterbygningen, Køge Libraries, MGK Zealand and the music society Køge Klassisk.
