I still have to catch my breath after the overwhelming beauty of Shell Shock: a great success for this new world creation commissioned by La Monnaie. The synergy among the music, the lyrics, the choreography, the scenery, the video, the light, the costumes, the dramaturgy, the singers and the dancers results in a piece of overwhelming and devastating beauty. Only beauty and war could be so overwhelming and devastating at the same time.

The synergy of a great team led by Peter de Caluwe, General Director of La Monnaie, who has given the necessary impulse to the idea of commemorating the Great War with a brand new world creation. He has also found and brought together the perfect team to carry this idea out.
