HOLZ KNOCHEN OL

Holz – Knochen – ol [Wood – Bone – Oil] is a poetic and dramatic cycle that does not only sound like a study on the composition of diverse materials. Composer Enno Poppe tells a story of growth and decay. Whereas wood is a living and growing material, bone promises growth, then stability, firmness and – as a memento mori – death. Oil, in contrast, being a residue of past life, warns us of transience, millennia of decay, while also serving as a source of energy that imparts new life.
