REPERTOIRE : MULTIDISCIPLINARY CREATIONS
Some programmes have been conceived in collaboration with contemporary artists such as Thierry de Mey, a Belgian composer, choreographer & director, or François Rossé with whom Des Equilibres created Mukaeback in 2010. These programmes have been at the origin of many encounters involving artists from different backgrounds such as visual arts, dance or video art.

A Transfigured Night
Pluridisciplinary creation for string sextet, two dancers and video
The project was born after the meeting with Agnès Pyka, the first violin of the ensemble and David Thelim, a painter from Marseille. Both have a common desire to create a dialogue between their arts on the thematic of transfiguration, while reflecting on Transfigured Night by Schoenberg.
This piece, based on the poem by Richard Dehmel, will be completed by the command of a string sextet by composer Graciane Finzi and a quintet in two movements by Alexander Von Zemlinsky.
