MARIA NOSTRA - Abbaye de la Lucerne

05 August 2024/12h33/ France / La Lucerne d'Outremer

Travelling between the Western Middle Ages, the Byzantine heritage and the Eastern Christian tradition, the Irini Vocal Ensemble highlights the various figures of the Virgin and her cult, which finds a particular resonance in the Mediterranean. We see the image of this woman taking shape through the epiclesis of Mary: from the almost erotic celebration of the Young Girl in Bloom, reminiscent of ancient pagan rites, to the lamentation of the Mother, the earthly woman confronted with the death of her only child, to the praise of the Queen of Heaven, the universal Mother interceding for humanity, it is an image of the woman that is at once one and multiple that we see taking shape through the epiclesis of Mary.
