Literature has often been representing an important inspiration source for music. Nowadays in music postmodern era, among the multiple eclectic musical trends, literary works still have the power to inspire musical compositions. La Passion d'Adonis (2015) is a work by Zad Moultaka, inspired by the Syrian poet and writer Adonis. Moultaka tried to transform in music some excerpt of Adonis masterpiece al-Kitāb. The composer designed a complex music organization for this work, that is a real global performance based on the union of different arts (live music, electronic environment, video, lights, etc.) that make this work intertextual, intermedial. Moultaka in this composition shows the actuality of Adonis writing. He depicts in music the pain described by the poet in his verses, about Arab history. The composer also tries to grasp the hope hidden in the painful verses proposing a kind of happy ending where the tragedy can be transformed in confidence. From obscurity to light.
