“It is the future that sends man’s mind back into the past.”
Hannah Arendt

What a crazy and amazing piece by Janaček — the first part pure delirium, the second part the endless cycle of death and resurrection. (Or, “good trip” / “bad trip”?) Thank you for making it happen @bregenzerfestspiele and @lillipaasikivi !
