The pages of history were irrevocably ripped up in the early years of the last century, both in politics and in music. Claude Debussy, the last composer icon of the so-called ‘Belle Époque’, took the art of composition to a compelling culmination, after which Arnold Schoenberg, the pioneer of new music, set it on a new path. Actress and singer Maria Ylipää interprets the slow madness of the moonstruck clown Pierrot in a timeless cult classic that must be experienced first-hand at least once in a lifetime.
