AUTHORS
“Pierrot REDUX” is an idea by Ellis Productions on music by Massimiliano Viel and text by Albert
Giraud.
The idea of “Pierrot REDUX” starts from the chamber work Pierrot Lunaire by Arnold Schönberg (1912) and the collection of poems Pierrot lunaire: Rondels bergamasques (1884) by the Belgian poet Albert Giraud, that are at its core. The proposed work is based on the original work of Schönberg and proposes a new version both dramaturgical and musical, that maintains its structure in three parts and the exclusive presence of Giraud’s texts, but at the same time provides a new interpretation of the original themes.
The three parts of the show are each made up of a succession of seven scenes, for a total of 21 scenes, as in Schönberg’s work, each one based on one or more lyrics by the Belgian poet.
