a re-translated requiem

For the production *Opbrouck & * by Brahms, Het Banket has created a rewritten and more universal text that transcends faith and places humanity even more firmly in the foreground. An even more human requiem.

In the original text of the requiem, we read of transformations: grain becomes a harvest, leaves wither and turn to earth, humankind leaves its earthly body and passes into the afterlife,...

*Het Banket* builds on this central theme, but rewrites the original text. The new adaptation draws on many motifs from the biblical original, but places them within a broader perspective, so that a very wide audience can relate to it.
