AT THE MOMENT
Witch: Sacred Stories
12 November at Saint-Vincent Church in Marcq-en-Baroeul
Purcell’s shortest oratorio, The Witch of Endor, transports us to the encounter between Saul, Samuel and the witch of Endor. The music is delivered with passion and intensity.
Charpentier, a prolific composer in the field of sacred stories, offers us an iconic French piece: Le Reniement de Saint-Pierre (The Denial of Saint Peter), a work that perfectly captures the essence of the genre.
In its quest for lesser-known works, the Il Caravaggio ensemble will present Ferrandini’s rare Il Pianto di Maria (The Lament of Mary), an expressive musical setting of the story of the Virgin at the foot of the cross.
Recital tour in Italy
19 to 22 November
Victoire is reuniting with her Italian collaborator, pianist Andrea Rucli, for a series of concerts in Trieste, Tolmezzo and Brescia.
"Solaris" by Othman Louati at the Théâtre de l’Athénée
24 and 25 November
Solaris explores the mysteries of a planet orbiting two suns and covered by an ocean that appears to possess a form of intelligence defying all human understanding. Through this work, Othman Louati and Jacques Perconte examine the way we inhabit the world, our relationship with knowledge and technology, as well as with love and spirituality.
Somewhere between cosmic fascination and existential reflection, Solaris invites us to move beyond the illusions of control and the logic of conquest, to rediscover a sense of humility in the face of the unknown. A sensory and poetic experience that invites us to grasp something of ourselves and our actions, amidst the confusion of reality, on our planet adrift in the infinity of space.
