A composition, an alchemical formula as well as a game, an artistic experiment in which all manner of musical personalities and groups can participate.

Wim Henderickx (1962-2022), award-winning composer, percussionist, music teacher and resident of Muziektheater Transparant, composed a score in seven chapters. Each one of them is seven minutes long and is intended for a basic line-up of seven core musicians. 

HERMESensemble and Nemø ensemble, under the musical direction of Diederik Glorieux, bring this unique composition to life. They get to work with choirs, basketball players, a brass band of students of the Antwerp Conservatory of Music and musical societies from all over the city. Together they bring this composition to life in a musical laboratory. Every performance of Inner Life is different.

Inner Life is a nomadic concert. Traveling through various locations, the audience encounters an ever-changing group of (local) performers. 
 

“On our walk, as it were, we were given a sampling of the various elements that compose this inner life, ranging from elevated to pleasurable or mundane. They were presented to us in isolation. But in the final summary tableau, we see how the inner life actually consists of all the elements together. The spiritual stands alongside the popular, without hierarchy. The inner life is rich, full of contradictions, whimsical. It is: all at once.”

Johan Thielemans, Pzazz

“Inner life is more than a musical project. It is a collaborative work of art with a challenging concept: large-scale and experimental, interactive, theatrical.”

Geert Van der Speeten, De Standaard
