Awen

In Avignon, as everyone knows, "we dance there." But beyond the refrain, the city that Martin Harriague discovered when he took over as director of the Ballet dazzled him with the majestic power of its heritage. Paying homage to this city that welcomed him was a no-brainer.

Beneath the vaults of the Chapelle du Miracle, designed to soar songs and souls, Harriague invites us to an intimate and poetic contemporary ceremony, a luminous offering to the history of this Avignon sanctuary. The stone setting, which has absorbed centuries of splendor, tears, and prayers, becomes the refuge of an immersive sensory experience. The choreography, sometimes ethereal, sometimes tormented, attempts to awaken the soul of the place, to give form to the impalpable presence, to the dazzling brilliance of the miracle.

The collaboration of the Opera Chorus Grand Avignon magnifies this experience by bringing to life rare sacred works, from medieval polyphonies to contemporary compositions. This fusion of Ballet, Choir, and Chapel reveals what is most precious about Avignon: its ability to blend history with audacity.

A moment out of time, between poetry, emotion and contemplation.
