Joan Fontcuberta, photographer, essayist and critic, has been invited by the Liceu to take part in what is his first onstage proposal. With unequivocal and personal codes, the artist will immerse himself in Schubert's Winter Journey to reflect on the passage of time, old age and the loss of memory.  

In the world full of the wounds that Winterreise presents, Fontcuberta will place his work in tandem with the rhythm of the music of Schubert. Considered the composer's spiritual testament, this piece is one of the most essential lieder cycles in the history of classical music.

Hauntingly beautiful, Winterreise is an invitation to deep melancholy, whose episodes mark the desperate journey of a betrayed man. An immersion in Schubert's poetic universe, with Fontcuberta as a visual guide, will lead the audience into the abyss.
