After losing two of his children, Friedrich Rückert wrote the Kindertotenlieder series of poems which were subsequently set to music by Gustav Mahler in 1901. The poems now serve as inspiration for the choreographers Emio Greco and Pieter C. Scholten for Kindertotenlieder Appearance, for which they are working with composer and musician Franck Krawczyk. The sounds of the French children’s choir La Maîtrise des Bouches-du-Rhône fuse with dance into an ode to intuition and vulnerability, characteristics that are gradually disappearing in contemporary society, like wolves that avoid daylight.
