The Voice Through Time

MAH
Booking Required

Conceived and performed by Claire Michel de Haas, this musical tour traces the evolution of music written for the human voice from ancient Greek fragments to contemporary repertoire. Vocal pieces converse with the collection, juxtaposed with harpsichord, cello and viola da gamba, and piano played by Réjane Buchet, Arbogaste Plantard and Johann Vacher. The programme blends historical timbres and intimate narration, creating a contemplative, tactile soundscape that invites close listening and reimagines the voice as both instrument and storyteller.

The piece balances sharp comedy and quiet cruelty, dissecting contradictions of desire through intimate exchanges and sudden tremors of feeling. The staging favors psychological clarity and a charged, oscillating atmosphere that leaves the audience unsettled and moved.
