After Monteverdi's Orfeo and other material

Stage Direction Samuel Achache and Jeanne Candel
Collective musical arrangements under the direction of Hubert Florent

A theatrical and musical composition arranged, written and performed by Samuel Achache, Matthieu Bloch, Anne-Emmanuelle Davy, Vladislav Galard, Anne-Lise Heimburger, Florent Hubert, Clément Janinet, Olivier Laisney, Léo-Antonin Lutinier, Thibault Perriard, Jan Peters, Marion Sicre, Marie-Bénédicte Souquet and Lawrence Williams

Orpheus sees the woman he loves disappear twice. The first time bitten by a snake, the second time, sent into the underworld again and forever, by a glance of her lover. Orpheus has, through his song, the power to enchant wild beasts, to win favours of the gods, but above all to create and to transform spaces, places, mountains and forests in our fantasy.

Orfeo is considered to be the first opera. Orfeo is the place of our « raging handicraft », the great underwater sea-bed into which we delve. It is an immersion into different idioms that tell the stages, pauses, landings, and the interior transformations of Orpheus.

Our intention is to pass from one world to another, to slip from secular to sacred, to allow the noise of life to rub shoulders with the clarity of death, the power of the myth with the physicality of music.

Nothing is certain, each thing can transform into its opposite.
