Visual artists Ief Spincemaille and Wies Hermans designed an installation that investigates the physiognomic aspects and attitudes of contemporary people. In the performance Ecce Homo this installation – a spherical object with remote control – gets the central role. The ball performs different actions that refer to the idea of moving and being moved, of action and passion. Zefiro Torna takes care of the live soundtrack. You will hear madrigals, solo arias and extracts from early Italian baroque operas and oratorios, music by Claudio Monteverdi and contemporaries such as Francesco Cavalli, Giacomo Carissimi and Luigi Rossi. This intriguing performance with ‘ami d’AMUZ’ Jurgen De bruyn is based on the baroque themes of the temperaments, of human physiognomy and of clair-obscur.
