Hungarian composer György Kurtág is a man of few notes and a master of restrained tension. „Kafka-Fragmente“ is one of his most unlikely creations: sparse on all sides, also in terms of text, but so suggestive in its almost painful fragility. Throughout the work, Kurtág scrapes with a scalpel along letters, syllables, vowels and consonants, stripping Kafka's language down to the letter. The result sounds like an intimate confession, with voice and violin – a unique combination – performed by the two Belgian musicians Katrien Baerts and Wibert Aerts with a live video performance by Lise Bruyneel, juxtaposing Kafka's sketchy drawings with his uprooted words. A unique chamber music concert.
