The 'Hic et Nunc! Music Festival', organized by the Sejong Soloists, is set to take place in Seoul from August 22 to September 5. A highlight of the festival will be the performance 'Age of Chimeras: Imaginary Future of New Humanity' featuring French novelist Bernard Werber at the Seoul Arts Center on August 27. The concert will premiere 'Chimeric Suite', composed by Korean composer Kim Taeksoo, inspired by Werber's upcoming novel 'Land of Chimeras'. This concert marks Werber's first appearance on a concert hall stage, where he will narrate his story in French, with English and Korean subtitles provided. The event includes other programs and activities such as book signings, likely to attract fans of Werber's dystopian theme, which envisions a future where genetically modified creatures, known as Chimeras, exist post-World War III. This festival offers a unique fusion of literature and music, suitable for those intrigued by modern classical music and speculative fiction.
