Retrouvailles
Retrouvailles
Aperghis single-handedly incorporates the return to body as well as the return to language in contemporary music. It babbles and sings, it moves and plays, it is all virtuosic, impulsive and machine-like at the same time.
The friends of Ictus will be reunited with their beloved Aperghis, himself reunited with his beloved Lille Opera. In seven short pieces the level of strangeness will reach such a critical point that no one will be able to find their way around anymore.
