| Gregorian Chant: Back to Your Actual House is a documentary/performance film which interweaves a visual reflection on the text of Genesis with chants performed by the Schola Cantorum of the Benedictine monks of that convent and interviews with the monks themselves on the reasons and the beauty of their lifestyIe choice. One of the monks expressly says that Gregorian chant represents for them a sort of moment of return to their true home, to the somewhat spiritual home to which we alI belong, and inspired the fiIm's title. The paralIel juxtaposition of the chants and the words of the monks to Genesis, a text which more than any other speaks of our earthIy home and its beauty, acts as a contrast on the one hand and on the other it supports the spirituaIity and happiness of these monks. Photographed in the convent of Heiligenkreuz, writer/director Roberto QuagIiano (PericIes by Shakespeare on the Road) aIso interviews historians and experts on Gregorian chant to reconstruct how these chants were born and how they developed historicaIly starting from the seventh century. |
