De cour à jardin : rencontre avec les artistes de la production le samedi 14 novembre à 18h.

Adaptation d’une pièce de Jean Genet, Le Balcon fait référence à un lieu en marge — une maison close — devenu refuge du pouvoir tandis que des insurgés prennent la
ville. Des personnages ambigus s’y croisent et peuvent endosser-là une existence d’emprunt. Illusions, simulacre, sexe et pouvoir émergent parallèlement à une critique acerbe des institutions. Eötvös — dont Kwamé Ryan fut le disciple — use de tous les genres de la littérature musicale qu’il mêle aux bruits de la rue pour cet opéra de chambre libérant une charge émotionnelle puissante. Avertissement : Certains dialogues et situations pourraient heurter la sensibilité des enfants. Chaque parent jugera du degré de maturité nécessaire pour l’accès à ce spectacle. Tarif 2 de 8 à 80 € - Durée 1h50

From courtyard to garden : meeting with the artists of the production on Saturday November 14 at 6 p.m.

Adapted from a play by Jean Genet, Le Balcon refers to a place on the fringes — a brothel — that has become a refuge for power while insurgents take over the
city. Ambiguous characters meet there and can take on a borrowed existence. Illusions, simulacrum, sex and power emerge alongside a sharp critique of institutions. Eötvös — of whom Kwamé Ryan was a disciple — uses all genres of musical literature that he mixes with street noises for this chamber opera releasing a powerful emotional charge. Warning: Some dialogues and situations could offend the sensibilities of children. Each parent will judge the degree of maturity necessary for access to this show
