Sarah's Pasion

Following Match Girl Passion, Silbersee presents another modern passion—this time with the Ragazze Quartet and philosopher Ger Groot. Sarah’s Passion is a visually rich musical performance featuring compositions by Arvo Pärt—a theatrical concert that unfolds like an enchanting ritual.

Pärt’s music resonates with audiences around the world. His works reflect on essential questions of human existence. Philosopher Ger Groot guides us into the world of Sarah’s Passion, where characters appear like slow-moving tableaux from the renowned painter Edward Hopper. The performance leads us through fundamental life experiences: the overwhelming force of birth, the sweeping power of passion, and finally, the inevitable confrontation with death— which, accompanied by Pärt’s comforting sounds, may even be felt as a welcome friend.
