Two short pieces of dodecaphony joined in one program. An objective: penetrating into the human mind. This is a possible dialogue between Arnold Schoenberg, the creator of twelve-tone music, and his first Italian disciple, Luigi Dallapiccola. In Erwartung a woman desperate search for her lover in the woods in an interior monologue that represents the state of shock and distress. In Il prigioniero a man in complete solitude faces the last hope of freedom.
This is a contemporary stage direction to soak in the human mind in an obsessive circle without beginning or end.
