Programme note by Sang Song<\/h3>\n

The four moments of death the title refers to are Snow White\u2019s.
\nIn the Grimm Brothers\u2019 final version of the classic fairy tale, the evil queen makes four attempts to kill Snow White. Initially, the queen orders a huntsman to kill Snow White in the forest and return with her lungs and liver. The huntsman, of course, could not bring himself to kill Snow White, so he spares the little girl and brings the queen the lungs and liver of a boar instead. When the queen learns that Snow White is still alive, she decides to take the matter into her own hands and tries to kill Snow White first by suffocating her with a tight corset. When that fails, she gives a poisoned comb a try\u2014but Snow White is revived yet again…
\nAs we all know, the queen finally \u201ckills\u201d Snow White by convincing her to take a bite off a poisoned apple. It should be noted, however, that the poison on the apple is arguably not what really \u201ckilled\u201d Snow White: she comes back to life when the piece of apple she had bitten off is dislodged from her throat, implying that her cause of death was actually choking! If we\u2019re right about this, then three of the four deaths Snow White had the misfortune of experiencing have to do with breathing: lungs and suffocation\/choking.
\nThose four moments constitute the backbone of Vier Todesmomente. The piece, however, is not meant to be a pictorial representation of the story. Rather, it is best understood as a reflection on the fragility of life and, at the same time, a celebration of breathing\u2014which the recent events have made us realize is something we have to fight for.<\/p>\n

The four movements of Vier Todesmomente have the following titles:
\nI. Boar\u2019s Lungs
\nII. Tight Corset
\nIII. Poisoned Comb
\nIV. Apfelgr\u00fctz<\/p>\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
