Secrets by Muziektheater Transparant

Drawing from anonymous true confessions entrusted to the performers by past audiences around the globe, Secrets is an intimate jazz theatre show that’s about all the things we would prefer to keep hush-hush. Matters and moments so private they were just begging to be set to music and sung to a room of strangers.

Airing and sharing these juicy tidbits is American soprano Claron McFadden, with the support of experimental accordion-brass-cello jazz trio Michel Massot, Tuur Florizoone and Marine Horbaczewski from Muziektheater Transparant.

Together they have created a musical production that shows how these hidden thoughts link us all together.
