Lettres à mes amants – Festival International de Commedia dell’Arte
Theatre
In the luminous shadow of the Italian Renaissance, a woman's voice rises - free, ardent, visionary: that of Isabella Andreini, celebrated actress, muse of the commedia dell'arte, but also poet, letter writer, exceptional intellectual.
Letters to My Lovers, blending real fragments and imaginary texts, compose a song of plural love: between passion, absence, anger, and abandonment, each word becomes theater, breath, confession.
In this musical lecture-reading, actress Élodie Robardet gives flesh and voice to Isabella, carried by the vibrant, contemporary double bass of Jean-Christophe Bournine (Merakhaazan).
An intimate dialogue between the language of the 17th century and today's sensibilities. A baroque and sensual journey presented by Frédéric Rey, which retraces the flamboyant life of this long-overshadowed figure.
The Palais Lascaris, a baroque setting in the heart of Old Nice, hosts this suspended moment, between music and memory, between past and present.
