Revenir d'en bas - concert-spectacle théâtre et musique

In tribute to the victims of the tragedy of Bois du Cazier which took place in Marcinelle 70 years ago, the Culture and Tourism association is organizing a unique evening on Tuesday, November 17, 2027 at 8 PM on the theme "coming back from down below". The event will consist of two parts. First part (half an hour) La Cantate "Orphée" by Clérambault, contemporary composer of Lully, will be performed by the Eurydice baroque ensemble and the soprano Caroline Jestaedt. Then, the titular organist Xavier Deprez will play, on the hymn "Victime Paschali Laudes", a reconstructed improvisation by Charles Tournemire, successor of César Franck at Sainte-Clotilde. Second part (one hour and a quarter) Show "Galibot", a one-person theater performance interpreted by Daniel Nicodème. Written by David Delaloy, the text gives the perspective of a survivor of a firedamp explosion in the mine. This show explores combativeness, resilience, memories, and the gaze of others on disability, all with a touch of humor and emotion. Historically, the word Galibot refers to the young apprentice miners who descended into the narrowest areas of the mine. In summary, after the song of Orphée, the Paschal Victim exalted by the organ, the floor will be given to address the trauma of the mine and life afterwards, thanks to the talent of Daniel Nicodème, Caroline Jestaedt and the Eurydice ensemble, composed of Maïa Silberstein, violin, Bárbara Ferraz, traverso, Clémence Schiltz, viola da gamba, and Xavier Deprez, organ and harpsichord. Possibility to buy tickets the same evening depending on seats still available.
