"Golden Cages: Seneca & Beethoven"
Step into the Time Capsule Lounge as Roman philosophy meets Germanic genius in an unexpected collision of minds. Seneca, the Stoic philosopher who advised Emperor Nero, encounters Ludwig van Beethoven, the revolutionary composer who transformed music while losing his hearing. Watch as the man who preached virtue while living in palaces debates the artist who created his greatest works in silence.
From the marble halls of imperial Rome to the concert halls of Vienna, these two brilliant minds explore the paradoxes of their lives: How do you maintain integrity while compromising with power? Can limitation become liberation? What happens when the tools of your craft are stripped away? Their conversation reveals profound truths about adaptation, hypocrisy, and the unexpected ways suffering can deepen art.
