-a multimedia performance based
on a hermetic-alchemistical text by
     Apollonius  Tyanaeus.-


A Video-performance and a Composition for
voice, violin, clarinets, percussion and electronics,
with 3 Video-screens and 4 Loudspeakers by
Hans van Eck and Arie van Schutterhoef.

The Basis
The origin of the text Nuctemeron is very unclear. Apollonius
Tyanaeus, a teacher from the school of Pythagoras, is mentioned
as the author. The earliest publication is by Lorenzo de Mosheim
in Amsterdam in 1721. This text is in  Greek, which is probably
also the language it was written in. It became better known through
the translation/adaptation by Eliphas Levi in his Dogme et Rituel
de Haute Magie, Paris 1861. The English translation that sir Arthur
Conan Doyle made, is based on this particular version. As well as
all the other contemporary versions.
The Nuctemeron describes in a powerful and ornate style, the
transfiguration of the human soul in a cycle of twelve hours. Short
aphorisms, that penetrate deep into the essence of every step taken.
