With Sarah Infini Takagi as Fermata

Pecheykin’s Beethoven is an ​Ode to silence.

This special project, presented by ​the Arlekin​ company, imaginatively​ and playfully inhabits memories and scenes ​from Beethoven’s life, offering a vivid portrait of one of history’s greatest composers. As he endures deafness, isolation, and poverty, Beethoven’s unshakable faith in music and humanity becomes a source of redemption and transcendence. ​What do we hear when the world falls silent? For Beethoven, the answer is extraordinary music—​a declaration of resistance in bleak times. His suffering does not destroy him; instead, he transforms it into art.

With live music featuring Beethoven’s classical work as well as original music composed and performed by Boston’s Sarah Infini Takagi, this unique theatrical studio production is directed by guest artist Yana Gladkikh and will be performed in Russian​.

I will seize Fate by the throat; it shall not wholly overcome me. Oh, it is so beautiful to live, to live a thousand times. - Ludwig van Beethoven
