Hoi Polloi Artistic Director Alec Duffy probes his father’s lifelong obsession with Schubert’s late masterwork, the “Winterreise” song cycle. With the help of a pianist and singer, Duffy explores the songs of the work and strives to unlock the mystery of why the piece held his father, and so many others, in thrall. Deeply personal but also highly entertaining, “Winter Journey” offers a fresh take on the tradition of the “confessional monologue,” with Duffy leading the audience down lush and unexpected pathways.
