Open the door and see - sextet

Blue Beard, a child, an adolescent, man…
Judith, the naïve young woman, desire, wanting and the forbidden…

But who is Blue Beard?  Who is Judith?  Where does one begin and the other end?  Are they not reflections of one sole being?

Masculine and feminine are expressed as existential poles held in the difficulty of a real fusion.  Love with a fragile balance, troubled and disastrous, the hunted and injured love of Blue Beard.

The sonar tram of the piece is treated as a work of composition built on the foundations of the opera Le Château de Barbe-Bleue by Bélà Bartók.

The original score is used as raw material, a sonar palate on which a new theatrical aspect is constructed.  A contemporized vision of the myth explored in its deepest essence.
