House of Creations

The tension is rising! With only a few days to go until the performance series, all the pieces of the puzzle are slowly falling into place during the first dress rehearsal. Check out our photo series here.

There are not many of them, the composers who appear on stage for the world premiere of their work, but Jean-Luc Fafchamps is happy to be present for each performance. For Is this the End?#2 he will not only figuratively, but also literally go 'full organ'.

Tableau vivant

In this 'scenic-digital' performance, the singers interact live with a gigantic video altar piece. With its threefold structure, this impressive piece of technology refers to the idea of the 'triptych' in a literal sense, but aesthetically it also recalls the art of the old masters, which clearly inspired the (neo)baroque universe of director Ingrid von Wantoch Rekowski.

"In my career, this is one of the projects that I have learned the most from." Meet The Woman! Mezzo-soprano Albane Carrère is almost ready to transform into the enigmatic leading lady of Is this the End?#2.

The last straight line! Today, in our Malibran room, the final rehearsal series for this world creation begins. The cast and the team around director Ingrid von Wantoch Rekowski have exactly two weeks left to fuse all the prepared material into one impressive live experience.

No one escapes the expanding dreamworld of Is this the End?#2. From treacherous sphinxes to sneaky goblins: our Chorus has been utterly transformed.
