Due to the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic, Place des Arts has suspended all shows and other public activities until further notice. As a result, the Requiem pour L. concert scheduled from May 26 to 28, 2020 has been cancelled. Ticket holders will be contacted by email about the procedures to be implemented.
Resurrecting the power of Mozart's uncompleted and mythical opus Requiem, the dynamic duo consisting of composer Fabrizio Cassol and choreographer Alain Platel forces us to look death in the face. Fourteen musicians and singers from every continent invite the audience to a Mass where opera, jazz and African rhythms accompany L. as she takes her last breath. Both a release and a rush of emotions, the piece crystallizes the final moments of a woman's life, sublimating them in a sacred ode. It is not adieu, but a call to life.
