Chorus
Multicultural choir Ibn Zaydoun & Vocal Group Antequiem
If birds are in search of truth, then their dialogues give body to a vocal saga which has metaphysical overtones. This musical spectacle brings together two amateur choirs – Ibn Zaydoun and Antequiem – to a text in French and Arabic by the Syrian writer, Fady Jomar, freely adapted from the Persian poet Farid al-Din’Attar set to music by Moneim Adwan ans set to space by Victoria Duhamel.
The performance of the 25th of July will be followed by a discussion between Victoria Duhamel, Fady Jomar and Moneim Adwan.
Duration: 30 minutes
