François Couperin and Shadow Theater

Apollon Theater

Pianist Natacha Kudritskaya takes us into a world where Couperin's music meets shadow theater, video and visual poetry. In this dreamlike project, each piece becomes a story. Couperin's evocative titles come alive through the shadows imagined by Leslie Laugero: a torch, some dried plants, and suddenly dreams, memories and childhood emerge.

The show also questions migration, roots and identity: why do birds and humans migrate? Can one leave without losing oneself?

Carried by images created by Leslie Laugero and animated in video by Benoît Lahoz, this creation becomes an immersive, sensitive and poetic experience.

Pianist Natacha Kudritskaja takes us into a world where Couperin's music meets shadow theater, video and visual poetry. In this dreamlike project, each piece becomes a story. Couperin's evocative titles — from the famous "Les Barricades Mistérieuses" to the whimsical "Le Tic-Toc-Choc" — come alive through the shadows imagined by Leslie Laugero: a torch, some dried plants, and suddenly dreams, memories and childhood emerge.

The show also questions migration, roots and identity: why do birds and humans migrate? Can one leave without losing oneself? Carried by images created by Leslie Laugero and animated by Benoît Lahoz, this creation becomes an immersive, sensitive and poetic experience.
