Hearing Game Night Butterfly
How does it sound?
It is spring and the sun is shining. Daughter and father drink fresh tea together and walk through the bright garden. The daughter is still a little caterpillar herself, eating and eating and constantly growing out of her clothes. Father is a biologist and talks about the metamorphosis of a butterfly. That a butterfly is first a caterpillar, but the mother butterfly lays eggs first. Then the daughter wonders who her mother really is. Father gets upset, but the next morning he dares to tell the secret. Her mother was a moth.
Inspired by Oorkaan's theatrical concert Quartets with Beethoven with Dudok Quartet Amsterdam directed by Rosabel Huguet, featuring Beethoven's finest string quartet music.
