Songs for Guillaume

Chants and puppets from the 11th century

This show, as rare as it is original, reconstructs an entertainment at the court of the young William in 1035 and features a lament composed after his death in 1087 at the end. This tribute reveals the richness and beauty of the culture of an underrated century. It showcases the myths and heroes that influenced the spirit of the future Conqueror. Like at that time, marvelous, poetic, or humorous tales are brought to life by the performance of minstrels and jugglers, along with astonishing medieval puppets.

By the medieval ensemble Sequentia, directed by Benjamin Bagby, and by La Marionnette Historique, directed by Richard Pech
