First imagined in 2007 and then further defined through the reading of Bach’s cantatas, this work by Gérard Pesson marks the his first acquaintance with electronics and virtual instruments.
The French composer's poetry – a theater of lights and intermittence – envelops the cantata’s entire scenic space: a meticulous machine of instrumental gestures, of found objects, adapted or created, "acoustic skies", the glass organ. The dramatic art is reminiscent of Baroque divisions with its movements of variable configurations, the rhythms of dance, the alternate performances of the soloists and the ensemble.
In this "country-cantata" which is made of traces and memories, origins and destinations, the lively writing of today present (texts by the young Mathieu Nuss and Elena Andreyev) is interrupted with a visitation from the past; here is the immense poetry of Gérard Manley Hopkins and his vision of nature transfigured.
