Le Chant de la Terre

Born in the wake of several deaths, this cycle of lyrical poems mixes intoxication with melancholy and, like a final embrace in the face of the inevitable, alternately combines fever and contemplation. Today, Chloé Lechat transforms this extraordinary work into a stage ritual, where the grammar of the body, music, and movement tell what words are no longer enough to say.

On stage, two singers wander among the ruins of a world at war and discover the memories that inhabit deserted houses. How can we pay homage to these vanished lives? Between past and present, between vestiges, dream visions and reality, this infinitely poetic production plays with these fragments of memory that haunt the living and attempt to ward off absence.

By combining music, dancers, animated film, and theater, Le Chant de la Terre invites us to seek a language to exorcise loss, and to share our sorrows in order to better let go of them. Because mourning is not just about saying goodbye, it is also about learning to welcome the diffuse light left behind by those who are leaving us...

A sensitive, visceral, essential, and profoundly human experience.

Sung in German, with French surtitles.
