Canticum Novum

ORIGINAL PROJECTS

Takeoff(s)

 

Man declines then recreates himself
Far from evidence and ruins From building site to building site

Beneath the bark
He extracts himself from chaos
He rakes gardens
To taste the future
Its fleeting flora
To its ephemeral bunches
And the song of the morning.

- Andrée Chedid, MÉTAMORPHOSES III

Through a dialogue between music and poetry, Canticum Novum invites you, in this new cycle of creations, to open up a space for reverie, for intimate reflection on the extraordinary capacity we have to transform ourselves, to evolve, to embody, to metamorphose ourselves in contact with the world, with others, with the ineffable... and perhaps to rediscover, for a moment, a path and a common gaze towards the horizon.

Like a tree whose many roots are rooted in different fertile soils and draw their energy from them, Canticum Novum has continued to grow and intensify over the years, opening itself up to new human and musical adventures. In this anniversary programme, produced to mark the ensemble's 25th anniversary, Canticum Novum celebrates the notions of rootedness, generational transmission and shared identities, and pays tribute to the bonds forged and the deep attachments created over these 25 years.

Join them on Thursday December 19th at 8pm at the Théâtre Copeau at the Saint-Étienne Opera (FR).
