Here, the artists invite us to discover a small chamber opera composed in 1900 by Eugène Samuel-Holeman based on a text by Camille Lemonnier, the ‘Belgian Zola’. They resurrected it in 2018, for indeed this unique work was last performed at La Monnaie in 1919! It gives a voice to women of the late nineteenth century and offers a strong social critique of mental confinement. This lyrical prose work can be performed as a concert or on stage.
