Un rêve éveillé, doux et poétique… Dans une rencontre inattendue du corps et de la voix, Damien Guillon invite les metteurs en scène Cécile Roussat et Julien...

A daydream, soft and dreamlike... In an unexpected encounter between body and voice, Damien Guillon invites directors Cécile Roussat and Julien Lubek to portray the sublime music of Purcell and Dowland.
Presentation
Poets and brilliant stage handymen, the duo Cécile Roussat and Julien Lubek shine in opera staging, but also in new magic, dance and circus arts. Experts in illusions, they compose with the musicians of the Banquet Céleste a show that resembles a living painting, fragile and mysterious at the same time. To lead us into this cabinet of imaginary curiosities, hanging candles, the magic of an acrobat's body, the softness of grains of sand and 3 musicians embarked on the adventure... An apparent simplicity echoing the angelic voice of Damien Guillon . A graceful, surprising, funny and melancholic show to be shared with the family.

Due to the health crisis, Dreams was unable to meet its audience in 2020 in the setting of the Opera. But thanks to a recording supported by the National Music Center and broadcast on France Télévisions and TVR, the show was a great success with viewers, professionals and the media. It is a great joy for the Banquet Céleste and Opéra teams to finally present it in our hall before a tour next season.
