An original 9-hour river concert-show. Blending her cello with songs and stories from Italy, Congo, India, Greece, Syria and elsewhere, Sonia Wieder-Atherton reveals her Odysseys in an ardent voyage of sound and vision, punctuated by music dear to her heart – from Bach to Aperghis, Prokofiev to Bellini.
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”.
