​​​​
Like Napoleon, or the Devil, Mozart is a figure who ignites delirium. His life, his art, his mysterious death: all have sparked tales, speculations, and obsessions. But who is the true protagonist of our story? A pianist who, through a kind of sonic cabala, dissects and reassembles Mozart’s music in search of hidden meaning? Or an old inmate who has spent his life claiming to be the composer’s reincarnation? And what if they were one and the same?​ This performance is the chronicle of a duel: genius against madness, originality against obsession, harmony against hallucination. It illuminates the fragile threshold where creativity flares into folly.
