The performance is non-verbal and driven by rhythm, gesture and communal energy.

Lighting by Rinaldo Del Boca and music by Alain Lamarche carve intimate, shadowed spaces around a red sequined curtain. Makeup by Natalia Lepianka and costumes by Emilie Revel shape the fading glamour of a music‑hall star who soliloquises, recalls past glory and loss, and sings in playback—an inward plunge toward memory and survival.

Harpsichordist Hadrien Jourdan offers an immersive reading of Bach’s Partitas BWV 826, 829 and 830 from the Clavier-Übung I.

Jourdan’s articulation and pacing reveal both structural brilliance and quiet affect, while the music’s contrasts create intimate and expansive moments that refresh the spirit and invite deep listening to its emotional and expressive richness.
