Les dieux Cupidon et La Mort logent dans la même auberge etretrouvent leurs flèches échangées à leur insu par les chambellans…C’est le chaos !Direction music...

"Cupid and Death" (Cupidon et la Mort) from November 18 to 27, 2021 at the Athénée 8 p.m., 4 p.m. on Sunday Ensemble Correspondances Musical direction Sébastien Daucé A mask by James Shirley Music Matthew Locke, Christopher Gibbons Staging Jos Houben, Emily Wilson Sébastien Daucé is the musical director of the piece, with his Ensemble Correspondances. Born in the 16th century in England, the "masks", or rather masks, had the characteristics of mixing music, song, dance, theater, grandiloquent decorations... in the service of a figure of power whose qualities were praised. All elements that would later flourish in the Baroque gesture and that we find in French court performances. 'Cupid & Death', a mask with five entries, begins with an inversion: Cupid launches his arrows on two lovers and kills them, while death pricks with points of love two old men ready for death. The libretto by playwright James Shirley, adapted from an Aesop fable, imagines the consequences of what love become dead and death transformed into love would bring about: a capital chaos where polarities are reversed, where nature goes mad and enemies discover themselves friends… Ensemble Correspondances Musical direction Sébastien Daucé A mask by James Shirley Music Matthew Locke, Christopher Gibbons Staging Jos Houben, Emily Wilson Soloists Perrine Devillers, Lieselot De Wilde, Yannis François, Nicholas Merryweather, Lucile Richardot, Antonin Rondepierre Actors Fiamma Bennett, Soufiane Guerraoui Ensemble Correspondances Organ, virginal and direction Sébastien Daucé Violins Josèphe Cottet, Château d'Hardelot – Cultural Center of the Entente CordialeCoproduction: Athénée Théâtre Louis-Jouvet With the support in residence of the creation of the short life – Théâtre de l'Aquarium. The Ensemble Correspondances thanks Vincent Meyer for his support. With the support of the National Music Center.

Cupid and Death reinvents, in collaboration with extraordinary artists, this style that was the English “Mask” of the 17th century . Sébastien Daucé and directors Jos Houben and Emily Wilson take on an experimental piece born at a time when librettists and composers were testing the waters of English opera. A sumptuous entertainment with refined and grotesque choreographies, allegorical and comic scenes where gods, humans and animals mix in improbable and absurd intrigues
