Video art as a leitmotif between early and new music

In Ancient Greek mythology, Clotho decides when you will be born, Lachesis decides how long you will live and – when your time is up – Atropos cuts your life thread. These three sisters are the Fates, personified together as the goddess Moira. That is also the name of this performance, in which early music by Lassus meets new music by Daan Janssens. Kurt d'Haeseleer's video work turns this triptych into an atmospheric audiovisual fresco.
