Human Requiem
"In Barcelona this July: a deeply emotional and hopeful requiem by Johannes Brahms, that transforms the Plaça del Rei and Saló del Tinell into an immersive shared space, where the performers are scattered throughout the audience."

"Johannes Brahms composed A German Requiem in 1868. Unlike traditional requiems, it is not a mass for the dead in a liturgical sense, but a poetic, philosophical meditation on our mortality, the joy of life and love. This production presents the London version of the work, arranged for soloists, choir and piano four hands. Its focus is on comfort and hope, both for those who have passed and those who remain. In this staging at Grec, Jochen Sandig reimagines the piece as a participatory experience with soloists and choir members moving among the audience in dramaturgic collaboration with Sasha Waltz. "
