The Théâtres de la Ville are joining forces with the Philharmonie as part of the rainy days to present Seneca's tragedy Medea in Noh theatre. Directed by Maxime Pierre and conducted by Richard Emmert, this show combines the sacred horror that gripped the Greeks and Romans when they went to see a tragedy and the Noh ceremony that gives flesh and voice to the dark powers of Seneca's tragedy.
Here, the hoarse cries of the drums, the heartbreaking calls of the flute announce the irreparable crime. Summoned by ancient sounds, the silhouette of Medea, princess of Colchis, advances with gliding steps, moved by the gestures of another time. The irreparable is underway: killing one's own children, in the name of a vengeance that is no longer human. A first Noh in French.
