Other Music
Zonzo Compagnie is conquering the world with a series of productions that immerse you in the creative universe of an iconic composer. Bach, Miles Davis, Thelonious Monk, Luciano Berio and John Cage have already been featured. The English baroque composer Henry Purcell is next in line.
Via a miniature version of an old theatre, we dive into the world of Henry Purcell. While Henry, as an air spirit, observes the spectacle, a singer opens the gates to the imagination. She whisks you away into dream images or ‘masques’ that Purcell created for the theatre. We hear echos of Shakespeare’s Midsummer Night’s Dream and The Tempest, King Arthur is present and Queen Mary’s music sounds, until HUSH reverberates and we are silenced.
