Program Note

“He who fights with monsters should look to it that he himself does not become a monster. And if you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you” (Friedrich Nietzsche, Beyond Good and Evil 1886). If the monster is calling you from the abyss, how will you react? Will you call or be called?
