CREATION: PASSAGE was composed for the Festival of Sacred Art, with its first performance at Orléans Cathedral.

CONTENT:
'Based around the philosophical, spiritual and personnal progress of the 'sceptic' faced with the Biblical text, this musical work puts forward subject matter of rare pertinence on the contemporary perception of the 'sacred'. 'Passage' involves the audience immediately in an enthralling universe which applies as much to the secular as to the convinced spectator.' République du Centre

EQUIPMENT PROVIDED: Sound and lighting

LENGTH OF THE SHOW: 80mn

STAGE SIZE NECESSARY: 6m minimum depth, 6m width

SOME AUDIENCE REACTIONS TO THE FIRST PERFORMANCE:

'You come out feeling a lot of emotion, great peace. It's beautiful, very beautiful...'

'I'm writing to tell you how amazed I was by what I experienced yesterday evening. The search between God and man, man and God. I saw in it my own moments of questioning, revolt, grace and openness. Singers, guitar, piano, dance, your voice and the personality of the post-modern man that you represent each took their own place without getting in each other's way. That is for me a sign of the success and the sincerity of your approach.'

'The show was fabulous and very thought-provoking. To be honest I took five minutes to get out of my chair at the end of the concert, I was so moved.'

'I still haven't come down to earth since the Passage concert. There's really something about it, I don't know what, which makes it extraordinary. This show really has an enormous potential.'

A FRENCH DVD OF LIVE EXTRACTS can be sent to potential concert organisers.
