Synopsis


The libretto follows Rilke and his writings on God, faith and belief, through a brief but chaotic time, after much struggle culminating in an affirmation of faith. Such and articulate and image-filled journey as Rilke’s can be heard and explored beyond the confines of a book, and brought into people’s lives in a new and poignant way.
