The Song of the Earth - Avignon Opera house (2026) - Das Lied von der Erde (Le Chant de la Terre) - Opéra Grand Avignon (2026)

Description

New production.

"On stage, two singers wander among the ruins of a world at war and discover the memories that inhabit deserted houses. How can we pay homage to these vanished lives? Between past and present, between vestiges, dream visions, and reality, this infinitely poetic production plays with these fragments of memory that haunt the living and attempt to ward off absence.

By combining music, dancers, animated film, and theater, The Song of the Earth invites us to seek a language to exorcise loss and to share our sorrows in order to better let go. For mourning is not just about saying goodbye; it is also about learning to welcome the diffused light left behind by those who are gone...

A sensitive, visceral, essential, and profoundly human experience."
