L'AUTRE HIVER

Normand Chaurette + Stéphanie Jasmin + Denis Marleau + Dominique Pauwels
Ghent + Mons + Montreal

Denis Marleau’s works surprise with his innovations where the urges of the flesh are conjoined with technological phastasmagorias. On a boat immobilized by ice where even the passengers stand inexplicably frozen, the terrible lovers Verlaine and Rimbaud are reunited, for better and for worse. This 21st century opera where music and video evoke in startling fashion the sea, and the inexorable glaciation of both minds and nature, gives birth to a spellbinding work.

*In French with English and French surtitles
