Olivier Messiaen’s imposing hymn of praise to the Earth, from its ravines to the stars above, is a work of sweeping beauty and transcendence. To start the evening, Jean-François Zygel introduces Des canyons aux étoiles, together with the Ensemble intercontemporain and Matthias Pintscher. The work is then performed in its entirety with a visual interpretation by Ann Veronica Janssens, an artist in light with whom Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker has regularly collaborated.
