Two women, two men, four instruments, four overalls, a battle field and tango.

Tangomotán members seek to improvise and never cease to work on new covers, revisit tunes, evolve and free themselves in order to make tango tangible. Walls will be covered by images while a voice will join instruments and the scene will become a theatre.

Time stops during a concert: the past, the present and the future meet and communicate one to another. Everything has changed. It’s all the same.

By Leandro Lacapère (piano), David Haroutunian (the violin), Blanche Stromboni (double bass) and Marion Chiron (bandoneon).

Is time an illusion? We are stuck between a past that has ceased to exist and a future that does not exist yet. Let the time paradoxes send you into a spectacular dimension.

What if we took Arnold Schoenberg for his word? ‘The transfigured night’ was inspired by Richard Dehmel’s poem. Wouldn’t it be more spectacular if we only had our ears to receive its beauty?

After the poem being read in darkness, the audience would hear Schoenberg’s masterpiece in its sextet string version in the shade. This setting would allow the audience to experience the piece in a new way.

A light projection will display dark colours to recreate a night atmosphere. The musicians will exist through their voice and the sound of their instruments. This experiment has never been made before because the six musicians will have to play by heart, with no partition or music stand.

‘The transfigured night’ was created between Germanic Romantism of the XIXth century’s and the modernism Shonenberg and its two disciples Berg and Webern established.

Interpreted by Sarah Dayan, Juliette Salmona, Corentin Bordelot, David Haroutunian, Pauline Bartissol, Sarah Chanaf. Reading by Simon Abkarian. Lights by Eric Michel.
