A Poet’s teares
© Lux Studio Berlin
O Sweet woods, the delight of solitarinesse,
O how much do I love your solitarinesse.
From fame's desire, from loves delight retir'd,
In these sad groves an Hermit's life I led.
To dwell in solitude, to look inside oneself, to learn to see one's inner light: John Dowland, John Danyel and Alfonso Ferrabosco invite us to turn away from the outside world, in order to better explore the world within.
By singing and playing alone, Emma-Lisa searches for a new form of intimacy, another way to experience the sweet melancholy expressed in the famous lute songs of the turn of the 17th century.
