Miserere

Freely inspired by Jan Dismas Zelenka’s Miserere

Between pop icon and mater dolorosa, a woman addresses us: at once real and mythical, rebellious, inspired and vibrant, she takes upon herself the pains and tears of the world in order to transfigure them. As she sings and utters the Miserere by Jan Dismas Zelenka (1679–1745), a chorus of six dancers, overflowing with energy, gravitates around her, the embodiment of the haunting and ever-renewed life forces …

Drawing inspiration from the baroque psalm, Ingrid von Wantoch Rekowski and Serge Aimé Coulibaly propose a contemporary rewriting of the music, at once theatrical and choreographic. Presented in a resolutely secular and poetic context, this new creation questions the human condition through the eyes and voice of a modern sibyl, a woman of all times.
