Pierre Baux, actor/ Garth Knox, viola / Benjamin Dupé : directing and music

An unusual Morning at the Abbey, as it is a (surprising) musical theatre show written by Benjamin Dupé and inspired by… La Haine de la musique (Hating Music), book by Pascal Quignard. A show followed by a meet and greet with the team of artists.

“When music was rare, its calling was deeply moving as was its dizzying seduction. When the calling is incessant, music repels. Silence has become modern dizziness“, as Pascal Quignard wrote in La Haine de la musique. This book inspired composer Benjamin Dupé to create this surprising show for violist and actor, originally for the Avignon Festival. Garth Knox and Pierre Baux engage in a verbal-musical ping pong match which challenges both our listening and our understanding: is music a mirage or a miracle?

The show will be followed by a meet and greet with the team of artists..
