Revisité

“Revisité started off as a fun challenge. What happens if I place myself within rigid structural framework of baroque music? I chose plays by Antoine Forkre and Jean Philippe Rameau as the finest examples to lead me. Over time this intellectual experiment turned into a sensual one. The rigid framework was not binding, on the contrary, it evoked new emotions. I would translate the title of the play as “Revisited: Seen in a New Light”. Well, what can I say — it’s absolute truth!”
