Sensory journey through music, poetry and painting
Invitation to the voyage takes us on a journey through music, poetry and painting. The programme begins with the Sinfonietta for String Orchestra Op. 52 by French composer Albert Roussel, who was a sailor-turned-composer. The sea was the constant inspiration for most of his works and appears to be an epic theme in the Sinfonietta.
The programme presents a selection of the most beautiful melodies composed by Berlioz in honour of the 5th anniversary of his death sang by infamous French mezzo soprano Aurore Ugolin. While Philippe Hersant’s Patmos for string orchestra takes us to the Greek island where St John the Baptist wrote The Apocalypse.
The composer Edith Canat de Chizy gained inspiration from painter Nicolas de Staël’s tragic destiny and his discovery of the colours, atmospheres and lights of Northern Europe, Provence and North Africa. Eric Genovese, a member of the celebrated Comedie-Française, will read excerpts from the painter’s correspondence, while some of de Staël’s most celebrated paintings are projected on stage above the orchestra.

‘Hikikomori, The shelter’ is a futuristic story about self-identity. The play uses a unique and original sound design that offers audiences three different viewpoints to see and hear one same story.
“Hikikomori” is a modern-age social phenomenon: it literally means withdrawal from others in Japanese. This new social act of reclusion created this story of Nils. This young main character finds difficult to fit into society, so he decides to hide in his room forever. ‘Hikikomori, The Shelter’ not only proposes the ways to be yourself, but also allow audiences experience this interactive performance by headphones. It provides a radically different approach, whereby adults and children can discuss at the end of the show and hear each of their thought.
