The Nightingale and the Emperor of China
11 April/18h00 France / Vauréal
At a time when biodiversity is under threat and birds are gradually disappearing from our soundscape, the La Rêveuse ensemble has teamed up with Cécile Hurbault, a specialist in Asian shadow theatre, to adapt a tale by Hans Christian Andersen, published in 1843: The Nightingale and the Emperor of China.
This musical and ecological creation takes a contemporary look at the relationship between humans and animals and offers a mirror image of descriptive 18th-century French pieces about birds and original contemporary pieces written by composer Vincent Bouchot.
This show is also an opportunity to hear bird whistles and serinettes, instruments that have disappeared but were dear to bird catchers and amateur ornithologists of the time... It charms audiences of all ages from 6 years old!
