This year’s Tenebraes\u00a0 return to a unifying theme. After the ensemble performance of Zelenka’s Lamentations and Responsories or Responsories by Carlo Gesualdo da Venos, the conclusion of Holy Week will be made known with its corresponding chants, but in a completely unusual place and for the first time in a theatrical setting. The recently opened water reservoirs on the Yellow Hill in Brno resemble underground temple spaces.
\nIn three days, each time in one of the three water tanks, different stories in different colourful forms of Gregorian chant will be heard and performed.
\nThursday’s tenebrae will recall the traditional washing of feet on Maundy Thursday, in chants written in the antiphonary of Eli\u0161ka Rej\u010dka, the founder of the Cistercian monastery in Old Brno. Conceptually, the evening will be based on the attribute “aqua\/water” and will draw on the element of water not only as a symbol of purification, but also, for example, on the motif of humility and equality, precisely from the perspective of the aforementioned foot-washing ritual.<\/p>\n
