Open “Pandora’s Box” at the Cirque des mirages in Pézenas. The mythical duo of Cirque des mirages is celebrating its 20th anniversary. Alternately a disturbing storyteller and a mesmerizing singer, Yanowski unfolds with striking gestures. At the piano, Parker emits a unique rhythm with the precision of a metronome. Hallucinated writers, murderous poets, travelers without luggage, from songs to stories, discover a procession of strange characters. A great moment for a show of corrosive and irreverent humor.
Cirque des mirages, “Pandora’s Box”, Thursday January 26 at 8:45 pm, Pézenas municipal theater, prices: €20 to €5.
Mélissa Laveaux for Chants d’hiver at La Cigalière in Sérignan. Divided between different cultures, full of many musical influences, Mélissa Laveaux shows an artistic identity in her image: plural and open to the world. In Mama Forgot Her Name Was Miracle, Mélissa Laveaux takes the lullaby wild again by calling upon powerful voices from different eras, from Audre Lorde to the goddess Lilith, to create a new mythology. Alternative. Feminists. Modern. Subversive. Because the change of legends is the change of the present.
