THE BOOK OF WOMEN brings together on stage the early music vocal ensemble IRINI, the contemporary music ensemble ICTUS and the Indian singer Varijashree Venugopal. This ambitious, historical and speculative project combines medieval music for women's voices with a new work for voice, ensemble and electronic sounds, inspired by the Mahabharata. THE BOOK OF WOMEN explores the theme of female power in the late Middle Ages, particularly during the Gothic period.
The aim is to evoke the power of Mary, the courage of women and all the miracles performed by female saints. It won't be a mass at the Ecole des Enfants de Marie, this is guaranteed! Instead, it's going to be loud, very loud: seven passionate singers with body percussion in the mix.
