Notre-Dame de Paris

A medieval musical fantasy for the whole family.

Around the creation of Notre-Dame de Paris, a lively group of young people from the brand new Sorbonne University turned Paris into a musical laboratory that would spread throughout Europe! Troubadour and goliard songs, Estampies dances and motets rivalled the great polyphonies of the Cathedral, now burnt down but saved! "Il n'y a bon bec que de Paris": this extract from a ballad by François Villon inspires Obsidienne for a programme full of "joyeuseté", as colourful as the façades of the Middle Ages...
