Pelléas et Mélisande Genève

Lost in a forest a prince meets a mysterious woman and takes her home to a dark castle haunted by repressed longings There she grows fonder of her new husbands halfbrother sparking a fatal love triangle between the three of them In a perfect synergy of the arts choreographers Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui and Damien Jalet together with the legendary performance artist Marina Abramovic stage Pelléas et Mélisande as a cosmic dream Like Debussy through his impressionistic music the performers and creators of this production dispense with any illustration and instead bring out the hidden emotions of the characters
