Unirsi al cielo

An ascent to heaven in sixty-six minutes. A serious, artistic examination of Christian philosophy and Chinese cosmology in equal measure. With the five elements as the foundation of the undertaking and the human being driven by the desire for Elysium as the constitutive sixth element. The Jesuit Centro Culturale San Fedele in Milan has chosen six composers from Italy, France, Cyprus and Slovenia to venture on this conquest of heaven together with Klangforum Wien and the audience. “Unirsi al cielo”: maybe not a unification with the celestial, but an approach to heaven.
