Alexander Scriabin wasn’t just a composer—he saw himself as a prophet of a new world, with music as the key to transformation. For him, the senses were everything: only through intense, conscious experience could humanity reach true ecstasy. With each symphony, he pushed the boundaries further. His Fifth Symphony — The Poem of Fire — became a heady fusion of sound, mysticism, and colour: a swirling, ritualistic vision of music as pure experience.

The Brussels Philharmonic invited Iranian-German artist and Brussels-based director Nazanin Fakoor to create a visual concept for the music of Debussy and Scriabin. What worlds emerge when sound meets colour, movement, and light? Through her work, Fakoor explores utopian possibilities at the intersection of recognition and alienation, aesthetics and social issues, and reality and possibility, blending video, performance, and installation with light, sound, movement and music.
