De feu et Lumière, a Musical Vigil at Théâtre La Voyageuse
In 11 days
De feu et Lumière is a musical vigil by the Compagnie du Poulpe, performed at Théâtre La Voyageuse in Nancy in November, for ages 12 and up. Three musicians unfurl a grand musical fresco of forgotten times, when the sacred still mingled with humankind. Carried by cello, violin and guitar, their voices make the flames dance and tell a story of humans, gods and the sun. The show plays on this shared memory to create an almost ritual interlude outside of time.
A fresco of forgotten times
By the fireside or under the stars, three musicians from the Compagnie du Poulpe unfurl a grand musical fresco of forgotten times, when the sacred still mingled with humanity. Backed by cello, violin and guitar, their voices make the flames dance and tell a story of humans, gods and the sun. One thinks of those ancestral vigils where music served to pass on the myths. The show draws on that shared memory to create a timeless, almost ritual interlude.
A journey between gentleness and lyrical bursts
Constantly shifting from very gentle, at times noisy and minimalist melodies to lyrical and orchestral flights, De feu et Lumière carries listeners through restless nights, dreamlike moments and realms of serene melancholy. The experience is immersive and delicate: you let yourself be borne by the grain of the strings and by voices that whisper as much as they soar. It's less a classical concert than a vigil-performance where the music narrates, suggests and conjures images. A moment to experience by letting yourself be surprised.
Théâtre La Voyageuse, an intimate venue
The vigil takes place at Théâtre La Voyageuse, on rue Saint-Dizier, a community theatre in Nancy that has kept theatre and creation alive for some thirty years. It's a local, human-scale venue where the audience sits right up close to the artists: the ideal setting for such a sensory show. One important thing to know before coming: the theatre is not wheelchair accessible. This intimate scale reinforces the vigil atmosphere the Compagnie du Poulpe is after.
