ECHOS
The latest opus of the Smoking Joséphine, "Echoes" draws on the distant voices of music to create an unprecedented correspondence, smoothing out the boundaries between eras and tracing new trajectories: In this program entirely conceived for the Smoking Josephine, imagined as a teeming journey through musical time, Couperin converses with Ravel, Rameau whispers in Menut's ear, the chaconne according to Lully is transformed into an epic and unbridled fantasy, the great voices of the past resonate with those of the present...
With a touch of madness, audacity, fantasy and virtuosity, this exploration goes from intimacy to exuberance, making styles intermingle, the cursor of creativity run wild, ideas clash, and catapulting us from the past to eternity!
