Josquin Desprez – La Chambre des Anges

Booking Required

Gli Angeli continues its exploration of Josquin Desprez with a programme devoted to his Marian music, centred on the Missa Ave maris stella. The concert alternates sections of the mass with striking motets to create a living, contrasted journey through Renaissance polyphony. Josquin’s clarity of line, vocal purity and expressive inventiveness shape an immediate and moving experience, where complex craftsmanship becomes accessible and luminous. The evening invites listeners to rediscover masterpieces of sacred music in an intimate, contemplative setting.

The Wheel of Fortune

Performances

Théâtre de l'Orangerie

Two unexpected deities arrive by bicycle, guided by a capricious GPS, carrying a very serious object: the Wheel of Fortune. They need the audience—especially children—to spin the wheel and together invent a story about a child to whom nothing seems to go right. Misfortunes pile up, luck sticks to the sneakers and solutions must be imagined. A participatory musical tale where chance and imagination shape a different story each time.

In French. Kids ages 5 and up.
