Theatre of Dawn

Maurizio PISATI Theatre of Dawn
ELISION Ensemble, Jean DEROYER conductor (Paris)

In the time between twilight and dawn, in the Alps between Italy, Austria and Switzerland, spirits of the night that inhabit abandoned houses awaken and assail the mind to drive their victims wild with nightmares, passion and desolation. Composed especially for ELISION Ensemble by Milanese composer Maurizio PISATI, this is a subtle, and sensual theatre of the imagination.
