Orlando
Film Screening & After-Talk with Simon-Pierre Bestion
This documentary traces the path of Orlandus Lassus, the quintessential Renaissance polyphonist. The master from Mons was a European star, yet struggled lifelong with his servant status. Director Joachim Thôme weaves expert interviews and performances by La Tempête into a cinematic gem exploring the tense relationship between art and power. Simon-Pierre Bestion arranged the music. After the screening, he explains his approach and tackles the tricky question: what is the price of artistic freedom?
