Directors Samuel Achache et Jeanne Candel - Music Direction Florent Hubert
Deceptive Crocodile / Dido and Aeneas is composed of a lecture on harmony of spheres, of a fall into a body of love, of a third degree burn, of Dido’s arms, a bunch of grapes, of an incommensurable grief, of a pile of rubble, of a handkerchief, of melancholy of a deer, of a machine célibataire (the batchelor machine), of a harmonium, of savagery and of little deaths, of counterpoints and of resonances, of nonsense and continuous bass sound, of an abandon and of a tragedy.
