This concert highlights the spiritual and human vision of Fauré and Gounod, with pieces like the Requiem and Ave Maria. The evening will conclude with Jules Massenet’s Méditation from Thaïs, offering a moment of reflection and orchestral elegance.
Pop energy, raw intensity, a touch of animality, and playful shifts in force. With live music and dancers moving around the audience, the beat spreads—visceral and physical. La Tendresse du ventre de la baleine explores the tension between individuality and collectivity, between identity, intimate desires, and the need to belong.
