Concert event on Voltaire - November 8
The eventful, daring, impertinent life of the famous writer-philosopher of the Age of Enlightenment... It's Friday November 8 from 7:30 p.m. to 9 p.m. maximum.
Enough to immerse yourself in the world of Voltaire with actors, singers, musicians and storytellers. Over an hour of high quality show in the king's bedroom. Intimacy, the major phases of his life, his verbal jousts, his personality... everything will be told to you, all set to music and song. Some dance steps will be shown to you.
A concert-reading told and set to music...
This concert-reading will evoke the eventful, intrepid, daring, impertinent life of the famous philosophical writer of the Age of Enlightenment. For this journey from Paris to Ferney, via Sully-sur-Loire, La Bel’Ébat interweaves readings of extracts from texts written by Voltaire and pages of music, instrumental, sung or danced, from this period.
