Cupid and Death Locke

"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.
