Immortal Beloved is a piece inspired by the music and letters of Ludwig van Beethoven. A pianist, an actor and a dancer represnt three parts of a single human being: the spirit, the mind and the heart. Lead by an ethereal character of destiny, the three pieces of one take the audience on a journey through the dark night of the soul of an unhappy man. Going through rage, self-righteousness, agression and despair, the protagonist slowly finds a way to make peace with himself and take first steps on the path towards joy.
