Counteth the stars
Past seasons
“Nes qu’on porroit les estoiles nombrer” [If we could count the stars]
Inspired by this ballad for three voices by Guillaume de Machaut (1300−1377), this piece features excerpts from a new project based on the meeting of two languages that have nothing in common and yet that everything connects. Medieval music (songs of troubadours or trouvères and Machaut’s polyphonies) and contemporary dance (choreographed by Alban Richard) oscillate between analogy and metaphor.
