Theatro Circo's Contraponto cycle presents the ensemble ars ad hoc and soprano Ana Caseiro in a new reading of Arnold Schoenberg's Pierrot Lunaire op. 21 (1912), in an immersive experience in which the audience shares the stage with the musicians. This landmark work introduced sprechgesang (spoken singing) and the famous "pierrot quintet", influencing generations of composers. Before Pierrot Lunaire, the group performs Alban Berg's Adagio for clarinet, violin and piano, a tribute to their master.

The subtitled concert reflects the spirit of the Contraponto cycle, dedicated to 20th and 21st century music and its formal innovations.
