Dreams
21 March 2025/ France / Dinan
In a candlelit cabinet of curiosities, Henry Purcell and John Dowland’s most beautiful tunes’ melancholy resonates. Le Banquet Céleste plunges us into the heart of a waking dream where circus, dance, and music converse.
Inspired by the 17th century Vanities, the pair of directors Cécile Roussat and Julien Lubek design a show in which the enchanting beauty of the chiaroscuro images reminds us of our human condition’s fragility. Accompanied by a viola da gamba, a lute, and a harpsichord, the countertenor’s character and his mysterious acrobatic double masterfully suspend time.
