“The Bellringer of Lilybaeum”
by Peter Stürm

After years in the wilderness a son returns home to challenge his fathers values. In a dramatic showdown he finds himself exposed and put to shame. Despite his mothers’ pleadings the father decides to wall him into a belfry. There he is condemned to ring the bell for the rest of his life. The short piece concludes with a ritualistic dance sequence in which the son is sacrificed on an alter by his
masked father.
