Message from Director
The music of Mountain Language
Mountain gave me the image of Werner Herzog’s Aguirre, the Wrath of God. Therefore I used Wir wissen von der Not and Eine andere Welt by Popol Vuh (a Krautrock band that worked closely with Werner Herzog) for the background music of the opening of the play and dialogue voice over between the mother and son. Since the voice over episode in Scene 3 “Voice in the Darkness” made me visualize Godard’s movies, I used Theme de Camille from Contempt on purpose. Thanks to Georges Delerue, the music is full and rich.
The music of The Lesson
The music used is from Fellini’s films Toby Dammit and IL Casanova. Having been fascinated about these three pieces of music for more than 10 years, I could not help thinking about them during play reading… and them – the two old partners, Fellini and Nino Rota.
