Evil incarnate, the Shakespearian couple lures us into the darkest corners of the human soul. Pascal Dusapin, one of our great contemporary opera authors, composed the score on a text by Frédéric Boyer, itself based on the original theatre play.

Thomas Jolly invents an outer-world scenic space and Franck Ollu, fine connoisseur of Pascal Dusapin’s work, unfolds his acoustic universe.
