Canticum Novum

Canticum Novum - Tapanak Théâtre du Parc February 2020

As an "arche" welcoming the diversity of our cultures, our instruments, our melodies and our temperaments, Tapanak, Canticum Novum's new young public creation, takes us to the slopes of Mount Ararat, where a long time ago, an ark was stranded. The castaways tell us then, their new land of welcome.
This musical tale enriched by a video creation invites us to discover the repertoire of melodies of these lands of exchange at the confluence between East and West, through the exploration of the learned and popular music of Armenia, the Balkans and the near east of the end of the middle ages.
Tapanak, տապանակ, means the Ark in Amerian.

About Tapanak by La Louce (video creation):
Being together. Imagining a horizon. Navigating. Holding on. Approaching a new shore. Watching. Discovering. Tasting. Loving. Building. Sharing. When a myriad of beings with all forms of feathers, hair and skin discover a new universe, there are so many places, niches, spaces, things that they smell, taste, breathe, touch, catch, detect. Through a mobile scenography made of figurative surfaces and removable projection supports, light reveals spaces and creates the possibilities of a sensitive universe in which musicians will be transported.
