Description

The Courage Consort, a renowned a cappella vocal ensemble, is given two weeks in a Belgian chateau to rehearse their latest commission. However, as they delve into the monstrously complicated Partitum Mutante, tensions rise and doubts begin to surface. Their personal struggles are compounded by an unsettling presence: an inhuman voice that calls out to them from the woods at night. As the ensemble navigates the complexities of their music and their relationships with each other, it becomes clear that the true challenge lies not in performing the piece, but in surviving the experience. Michel Faber's latest work is a powerful exploration of human nature, set against the unconventional backdrop of avant-garde classical music.
