Music conveys moods and images. Even in opera, where plots deal with the structure of destiny, it’s music, not words, that provides power.

I have designed my style pantomimes as white ink drawings on black backgrounds, so that man’s destiny appears as a thread lost in an endless labyrinth... I have tried to shed some gleams of light on the shadow of man startled by his anguish.
