Open rehearsals – Timelessness, Thierry De Mey

Discover the backstage of the Théâtre de Hautepierre and slip into the rehearsal room, close to the artists. These listening times will be accompanied by a 30-minute presentation of the pieces performed.

This activity is reserved only for group registrations (min 5 people).

With Timelessness, Thierry De Mey is engaging in the exercise of self-portraiture by bringing together old and new pieces in the same concert. This project has been matured for a long time with the Percussions de Strasbourg, and he speaks of it as an “artistic and political manifesto”. The composer’s commitment is above all to the body and its development in musical practice. Where a taboo deeply marks our history, in particular by neutralizing the presence of musicians wearing black clothes, Thierry De Mey gives a “visibility” to his performers and integrates into his writing the exposure of their gestures and postures.
