Programme

Carlo Gesualdo Passione

About this event

Gesualdo is often remembered for the murder of his wife and her lover, but did this tragedy obscure his true passion - Faith? In 1611, before his death, he published Responsories for Holy Week, depicting Christ’s final moments in intricate polyphony. The depth of the subject inspired some of his most expressive music.

In this story of suffering and love, the body is central. Amala Dianor’s choreography fuses classical, contemporary, and hip hop styles, and mirrors the music’s contrasts. Six singers from Les Arts Florissants and four dancers from Compagnie Amala Dianor unite past and present in this unique stage creation.
