Théâtre du Châtelet
From 10€ to 40€

Humor, memories, and joy, in music and on screen. On stage Carlos Kleiber and Sergiu Celibidache, Miles Davis and Bruckner, Stockhausen and Beethoven, and one of Thomas Hauert's most beautiful choreographies with his company Zoo, filmed by Thierry De Mey.

This unique evening at the ManiFeste festival is an immense montage, a whirlwind that spreads from image to music. Danish composer Simon Steen-Andersen has devised an ultra-virtuoso collage in which the orchestra, jazz band, and vocal ensemble present in the hall play with a series of living archives - a profound and disarmingly funny journey into our own musical memory. This summer's playlist encompasses a whole range of music, including Ravel's La Valse, danced on the rooftops of Brussels. A portrait of the artist as a player in a hurry.
