Suite Camus (Andreas Arnold, Music/Multimedia, Germany/France/Algeria)
Suite Camus is an interdisciplinary work, an osmosis of music, textx and images that leads into the heart of Camusian ideas and aesthetics. Initiated by the Goethe Institut Paris at the occasion of A. Camus' centenary, the project is a meeting of outstanding young artists from Algeria, France and Germany. The Suite is based on a structure that stems from an entry in Camus' diary from 1945. Here he lists his “dix mots preferes”, the ten words most important to him and his work: “world, pain, earth, mother, man, desert, honor, misery, summer, sea”. Musician Andreas Arnold has composed pieces for each of these key word, fusing elements of jazz, flamenco and electronica to a unique synthesis.
