To mark the first gass attack in history (on April 22, 1915, during the Second Battle of Ypres in the Great War) five young Belgian artists create a multimedia requiem of war in the Concert hall Bruges on april 22, 2015. Their production, called MONU, sheds light on the Great War from different perspectives, reflecting on the condition humaine, nationalism, industrialisation, and the question whether creativity and vitality are necessarily linked to warlike feelings. MONU is a new composition by Benjamien Lycke, currently studying at the Royal College of Music in London, for large choir, ensemble, organ and soloist. The staging contains multimedia elements (video projections) and a choreography for 7 dancers.
But to do so, we need money, and that's why we want to make this performance possible by organizing a crowd funding. In return we will provide you with a lasting MONU-memory: a postcard, a recording or signed sheet music. You can also become a partner in this unique project by dedicating the requiem - or part of it – to somebody, a group or a certain cause of you own choice. This could be a family member who died as a soldier during the Great War, an acquaintance who died in a different, ongoing war, or a loved one who lost his or her personal battle. All is possible. This dedication will be included in the sheet music and in the program you receive before watching the performance. Furthermore, if you want to, you will receive the space to tell the story behind your dedication, so your intentions can be included in this remembrance.
