Ensemble vide – Cordes tressées

Led by Iranian musician Neda Joukar on târ and accompanied by a Persian vocal partner, Cordes tressées unites these sonorities with an Italian baroque trio — baroque guitar, lute and theorbo — played by Matteo Mela, Lorenzo Micheli and Massimo Lonardi, with soprano Renata Fusco. Rooted in oral transmission and a practice where composer and performer intertwine, the project foregrounds attentive listening, subtle sound work and delicate plucked gestures, weaving a living dialogue between Persian and early‑European traditions.

A darkly comic solo play about obsession and domestic chaos. When Michel finds a rare record he has long sought, he prepares a perfect hour to listen — but family, neighbours and a drip that will wreck the disc steadily intrude.
