CIE RUSTINES De L’ange (Auverge-Rhone-Alps) – CoraSON
Bell Square Calling: Conversations 2, 3pm - join us to discuss with outdoor artists and practitioners themes raised by the festival.
An exuberant and theatrical accordion performance celebrating collective movement and music. CoraSon is above all about the strength of the choir - nine men and women moving together, becoming as one in their mission; to give freely.
The music guides us to join them in this generous sharing. Their movement creates a bubble of sound, within which the audience finds itself caught up… the choir grows! It pulses! The timeless travellers, by turns singers, accordionists and percussionists, totally engage in their generous and joyful ritual.
