The Nederlands Kamerkoor and the Iranian harpsichordist Mahan Esfahani embark on a theatrical journey through the psyches of two historical figures: the ninth-century poet Al-Halladi and the delusion-ridden King George III. They seek connections between two worlds that seem to have little in common at first glance. Mahan Esfahani and the Nederlands Kamerkoor explore the thin line between rationality and madness. It is a meeting of Eastern mysticism and Italian late Renaissance, where music is not only a mirror for the human mind but also a way to think beyond the boundaries of time and space. The choir and instrumentalist link to the story of the ninth-century poet Al-Halladi, who was publicly executed in Baghdad for allegedly proclaiming 'Ana al-Hakk' ('I am the truth'). Was he disturbed or a martyr? 'I am the Truth!', for choir and harpsichord, by the French-Lebanese composer Zad Moultaka, has its world premiere in Utrecht.
