King Arthur d’après le semi-opéra d’Henry Purcell. A partir de 11 ans.

With Julie Calbete (soprano), Pauline Claes or Joëlle Charlier (mezzo-soprano), Romain Dayez (baritone) and Fabien Magry, actor at the narration.

It is necessary to go back, centuries back. You have to put mud, icy winters and anger in the heads of all those who are dying of cold and hunger. England is then in permanent war. Beyond the battlefields, pacts are made in the upper echelons of power. Children are exchanged for obscure services and magicians try to write tomorrow?

It is in the middle of all this, that young Arthur is born. But is he really the one we expected?

Between synthesizers and lyrical voices, the old myth of the romantic knight takes a blow, to reveal the young Emmeline, Arthur's blind fiancée, who could well change the course of the world.

Following the thread of Purcell's original work, the company Dérivation proposes an intimate and resolutely modern King Arthur, mixing lyrical and modern sounds to put in parallel the questionings of its characters and those of our own lives.
