Dance and song rooted in the Middle Ages

After last season’s feminist take on the mythical nymph, choreographer Barsacq now brings us to the Middle Ages. There she delves into the manuscripts of Kassia of Constantinople, a 9th-century nun, who is one of the earliest female composers whose scores have survived. Eight performers – dancers and singers – gather on stage to explore Kassia’s life and her forgotten works.
