soundcheck 76: "Key to the Language of the World. The end of the great distance

Whoever is an adult probably knows the silence of the world (Camus), the strangeness of a dead universe in which our life and speech can only appear like an absurd, tiny island.
In Messiaen's cycle Harawi - Chant d'amour et de mort, this silence is on the one hand abolished, on the other hand reinforced by the promise of the beloved. This promise transforms heaven and earth into a paradise of synesthetic metaphors, it points to the divine mystery of stars and molecules, but it also reinforces the fear of loneliness and the certainty of death. It is necessary to ask for a promise and love that makes things speak, or rather makes us understand their language and overcome death.
