Scriabin: Le Poème de feu

Alexander Scriabin wasn’t just a composer—he saw himself as a prophet of a new world, with music as the key to transformation. For him, the senses were everything: only through intense, conscious experience could humanity reach true ecstasy. With each symphony, he pushed the boundaries further. His Fifth — The Poem of Fire — became a heady fusion of sound, mysticism, and colour: a swirling, ritualistic vision of music as pure experience.

Nazanin Fakoor is an Iranian-German multi-disciplinary artist and director based in Brussels. Her visual installations and performances are worlds that the spectator can enter and influence. Through her work, she explores utopian possibilities at the intersection of recognition and alienation, aesthetics and social issues, and reality and possibility, blending video, performance, and installation with light, sound, movement and music.

"Visionary and enigmatic, Scriabin dreamed of a total art form. His Poem of Fire, conceived with colour and light effects, is its most dazzling expression. We offer a contemporary interpretation of this work, true to the composer’s innovative spirit." – Kazushi Ono
