CRITICS

Les Echos
"The talented cellist once again demonstrates the extent of her eclecticism. A very powerful, almost hypnotic duet with dancer Shantala Shivalingappa."
Télérama Sortir
"Traditional dancer Shantala Shivalingappa performs a stunning duet with cellist Sonia Wieder-Atherton (...) A pas de deux to a Bach suite that benefits from Stéphane Ricordel's directorial eye.
La Terrasse
"Remarkable performers, cellist Sonia Wieder-Atherton and dancer Shantala Shivalingappa each assert their own desire to create and experiment with new approaches. Both see their art as a quest and an exploration nourished by multiple influences. They meet around a Bach Suite, the pinnacle of cello writing. Under the watchful eye of Stéphane Ricordel, they improvise and confront their singular representations of the work. Through music and dance.

Couperin & Vivaldi

A tale in two stages, “like freeze-frames, like incursions into time”: first Couperin’s Les leçons de ténèbres, or the Lamentations of the Prophet Jeremiah.

Prophecy is the time of the future. Before the destruction and the tears: “we hear the song of the prophet who mourns, but the possibility that it won’t happen still exists”.
