Mozart's unfinished and partly lost work, forgotten in favor of such great successes as The Abduction from the Seraglio and The Magic Flute, it has been waiting for the right moment to reveal all its secrets...
Drawing on this framework open to all creative and experimental possibilities, director Louise Vignaud uses the silences of the Mozart storyline to weave a philosophical tale faithful to the ideals of the enlightened composer. Thanks to this interpretation that transcends ages and mores, it is the Age of Enlightenment at its very best that challenges and questions us.
Lifted by Mozart's sovereign music, this initiatory fable transports us to a supernatural, timeless world, and tells the story of three isolated orphans who are soon confronted by an unexpected encounter. Through the adventures of Zaide and her companions, she will soon confirm that only the test of the stranger is truly emancipating, and that we cannot dream of freedom without shedding our prejudices...
A rare and privileged opportunity to hear a new Mozart for the first time, reminding us that theater is always a moment of openness to others and differences, and in this sense a true experience of shared humanity.
