In his orchestral work composed between 1914 and 1917, Gustav Holst dedicated a musical tableau to each planet of the solar system, giving each its own colours, energy and themes (Mars the Bringer of War, Venus the Bringer of Peace, etc.)
This order, kept by the La Ville en Feu collective as the guiding thread of the vocal score, gives way here to an eighth planet, Earth, embodied by the song Hymn of the Travellers, also composed by Holst.
The versatile dancers and choreographers of La Ville en Feu (featured in Les Tombées de la Nuit last July, with Le Sacre) will perform a preview of this a cappella journey across the solar system in the foyer of Champs Libres, for an intimate, interstellar experience.
