An innovative film and music event, in which distinguished German baritone Dietrich Henschel sings the entire collection of Mahler's 'Wunderhorn' songs, ten of which are orchestrated by Detlev Glanert, in sync with a new film by director Clara Pons. Pons's film, inspired by Mahler's songs, presents a scenario where paradise meets its end in the violence of war. Henschel, hailed for his emotional and dramatic intensity, both sings on stage and takes a leading role in the film.
