With closed Eyes
From Light to a Whisper
From full light to the play of light and shadow, from orchestral flamboyance to intimate expression: *Les Yeux clos* is a concert in a single movement, guided by Malcolm de Chazal’s intensely sensory texts (excerpts from*Sens-Plastique*), a sonic and visual journey, ranging from Alexander Scriabin’s sublime piano pieces to Martin Moulin’s fresh and concise compositions, featuring the melodica, jazz flutes, gestures, and whispers.
Like a Boléro in reverse.
