Merveille

Amphithéâtre Olivier Messiaen - from 12 to 22 December 2018

Synopsis

A cry, a whisper, a word: the voice fascinates. It is a marvel. From the banalities of everyday language to the powerful presence of a chorus, Pierre Rigal explores different facet of the voice in this performance. Together, dancers and singers take the audience on a playful odyssey. Part lesson, part performance, the numerous scenes succeed one another. The scenography of the performance flirts with the codes and the limits of the vocal arts to call into question everyone’s capacity to wonder.

Duration : 1h00 no interval
