Overview

A Debut Work by Pascal Rambert & Antoine Plante

Raw, intimate, and hauntingly beautiful, LOVE blurs the line between concert and theater in a powerful exploration of memory, grief, and connection. Set within the quiet intensity of a final farewell, spoken monologues unfold alongside the luminous music of Purcell and Dowland, including the aching strains of Flow My Tears and The Plaint.

This bold new collaboration invites audiences into a space where music gives voice to the unspoken and silence carries its own weight. A singular artistic experience—stripped down, emotionally charged, and deeply human.
