Conte musical suédois « La légende de la Sainte Lucie »

Come and discover this Swedish musical tale performed by Thierry Petit, narrator, accompanied by Duo Entracte, with Lena Gutke on flute and Odile Abrell on harp.

Traditional and classical Swedish music accompany a story taken from "The Christmas Book" by Selma Lagerlöf (Nobel Prize 1909), and plunge you into the world of Scandinavian Christmas tales from the late 19th century:
"On the thirteenth of December, in the early hours of the morning when Värmland is plunged into cold and darkness, Saint Lucia still made her way into every home in my childhood. She still wore - at least in my childish eyes - a dress made of the white light of the stars; around her head was a garland of greenery with burning flowers of light, and she always woke up the sleepers by presenting them with a pot filled with a warm, fragrant drink."

The evening begins at 6.30pm with an opening performance of music, poetry... or another surprise, followed at 7pm by the musical tale, and at the end the bar remains open for a convivial moment over mulled wine and cinnamon buns.
