During the weekend of September 10/11, La Noeva will be taking part in the Fête de Mai (postponed until September because of Covid) in Gesves, close to Namur. We will be showcasing a collective project “Du Verger à l’Eglise” (“From the Orchard to the Church”), created in residence together with the artists Anne Mortiaux and Françoise Lesage, and the narrator Julie Renson.
The project is inspired by Hildegard von Bingen and features her music as well as seven pieces from my own Hildegard Revisited project. We will be giving workshops (on Saturday 10th at 4pm), where you will be able to make prints from plants and enter into Hildegard’s many worlds through our playful, creative introduction to her music and “lingua ignota” (a language that she invented herself).
On Sunday 11th at 4pm, we give our main performance in the beautiful 11th century church in Strud, and to end the two weeks of the Fête de Mai we will present the project as part of the inaugural artists’ walk. The flyer below contains all the details. If you would like to take part in the workshops or come to the performance on Sunday, please reserve by sending an email to greta.debois@unamur.be with info@lefetedemai.org in cc. Attendance is free, but places are limited.
