Machaut Rolling Over in his Grave

22 March 2025/20h00/ France / Metz

The Messe de Nostre Dame, an emblematic work of the medieval repertoire and a jewel of polyphony, serves as a canvas to present one of the ensemble's mottos: to use historically informed interpretation as a tool for our expression, and not to regard it as a restraint. Each voice in the mass is interpreted by several singers, who approach the phrasing in different, deliberate ways. It is a symbol of the multiplicity of possible readings offered by this repertoire, and beyond that, a message about the importance of accepting different ways of thinking and doing things. 

Iconoclastic visual artist Olivier de Sagazan joins Sollazzo for this show, bringing the singers into his innovative and distinctive world. Working with clay on stage, the artists are transfigured and take the audience into a world where the very concept of beauty itself is challenged.
