‘My time will come,’ Gustav Mahler once prophesied. Alain Platel has drawn inspiration from the cultural study Change and Culture in the West, 1900-1914 by the historian Philipp Blom, and developed his Mahler project into an all-male production that looks at the troubled early years of the 20th century, which ultimately led to the great crisis of the First World War. Taking Mahler’s lieder as a basis, the composer Steven Prengels creates a soundscape using sampled natural sounds and elements from our everyday surroundings, but also incorporates the polyphony of the Congolese singers Boule Mpanya and Russell Tshiebua. Berlinde De Bruyckere – who worked on the first production of Dusapin’s Penthesilea at La Monnaie in 2015 – is creating an original set for the dancers of les ballets C de la B; this is the first time she has worked with Alain Platel. Has Mahler’s prediction come true?
