An initiation, a ritual itinerary - in Opéra de Lille, transformed to a nocturnal garden.
City noise is being processed in real time into melancholic melodies in the work of Joanna Bailie, in ‘Germinations, Jean-Luc Hervé explores the sound of budding vegetation, While she dances Fumiyo Ikeda listens to the endless sound combinations of Morton Feldman. In the dead of night the concentration is abandoned into a bacchanal of sound with a thousand colors in Terry Riley’s ‘Rainbow in Curved Air’. You leave the Opéra as another person...
