The Nightingale and the Emperor of China, musical shadow theatre show
28 May 2024/19h30/ France / Dreux
Le Rossignol et l'Empereur (The Nightingale and the Emperor), a chinoiserie written by someone who has never been to China, offers plenty of food for thought and provides an opportunity to hear the disappearing instruments so dear to 18th-century birdwatchers and bird lovers, the bird flageolets. This tale also offers a contemporary look at the relationship between humans and animals, at a time when biodiversity is under threat and birds are gradually disappearing from our soundscape.
