Tales of passing time

May 26 to 28, 2019

en

The performance takes place in Terra Amata, a village much like any other- or so it seems. With its bakery, chess club, bar-tobacco shop, everything seems ordinary. But Terra Amata has a unique feature. All of its inhabitants, from the mayor to the butcher, including school children, sing and express themselves through music. Together, they travel through time and seasons to the rhythm of works from a plethora of artists, including Mozart, Poulenc, Purcell, Bach, Britten or Gene Kelly.  

Song, dance, theater, tap dance… the 90 children of the Opéra Comique’s Maîtrise Populaire  share the full spectrum of their talent during the show, directed by Jos Houben and Emily Wilson, and Sarah Koné’s baton.
