Bach et la Bible

At La Cité Bleue, words and music come together in a show that is all about listening and intensity: Bach and the Bible, conceived by director Omar Porras and pianist Cédric Pescia.

On stage, two languages meet: the sacred and poetic language of the Scriptures and the equally spiritual language of Johann Sebastian Bach. Through a selection of biblical texts and a programme of works for keyboard, this show offers a sensitive immersion in the intimate resonances between words and music. Omar Porras gives voice to the Gospels, the Psalms and the prophecies, while Cédric Pescia brings Bach's musical meditations to life in a performance that is both soulful and luminous.

Neither recital nor theatrical reading, Le verbe de Bach, la musique de la Bible is a journey: an invitation to rediscover the spiritual depth of Bach's music, rooted in biblical texts but open to everyone, believer or not, as a universal language. It is a powerful performance, carried by two exceptional artists united in their quest for meaning, beauty and silence.
