Northern Voices

Three singers — Claire de Buren Massy, Taina Onnela and Hilde Stein — weave traditional songs from the Far North into intimate, harmonised arrangements. Performed in their original languages and lightly reimagined with contemporary touches, the programme balances humour, melancholy and nostalgia. Brief spoken introductions frame each piece, guiding listeners through the stories while allowing the trio’s close harmonies and sparse textures to unfold. Presented within the Les Quatre Saisons de La Musicale series, the performance favours warmth and attentive listening.

Combining documentary inquiry and poetic dramaturgy, Lüscher conjures the voices of those who engage with the beyond amid a wax and mist décor that blurs visible and invisible. Drawing on readings like Magali Molinié and Vinciane Despret, the piece explores what cannot be resolved, using theatre’s spectral dimension to imagine passage between forms.
