Presentation

As part of the Mon(t) Merveilleux Noël event, the Abbey of Mont-Saint-Michel will be transformed into a fantastic natural setting. As they explore the monument, visitors to the abbey will be transported into a dreamlike, poetic musical world with "Le chant des coquelicots" ("The song of the poppies")... 60 flowers, 60 nuances sublimating the architecture, 60 breaths, 60 heartbeats around two musicians in the abbey's most secret room, the primitive chapel of Notre-Dame-Sous-Terre.

CastScenographer: Fred Bourreau / Technician: Théo ErrichielloMusicians: Jean-Baptiste Noujaim, Richard Bourreau and Nyna Loren (alternating)

The Fredandco Company

The Fredandco company brings together artists (set designers, visual artists, musicians, actors, etc.) who want to question the relationship that people have with each other and with their natural environment. Fredandco has developed its own poetics, inviting people to revisit their perception of space and tell their own stories in a different way.

In this way, the company plays with scale, proposing a relationship of size that inverts the usual proportions, so that visitors become small when they enter the transformed space, changing the way they look at things.
