The Mystery of the Dove

January 27, 2024

Conference 5

In this video conference, Fabienne Courmont presents how for her, through the danced oratorio “the mystery of the dove” created by Michel Garnier, and her experience in her long collaboration with this composer of sacred music, it is possible to dance to religious and Christian music and to embody the Holy Spirit through dance in the footsteps of Mary Magdalene

The Mystery of the Dove is an oratorio in eight scenes, written and composed by Michel GARNIER. It relates manifestations of the Holy Spirit : Baptism in the Jordan, Pentecost…

Several paintings are choreographed, notably the painting “The Initiated”, glorified by dance, which represents the Last Supper in a feminine way, inspired by the work of Leonardo da Vinci. Thus Michel Garnier wished to pay homage to the female apostles who followed Christ throughout his life.

Also a painting on the arrival at Saintes Maries de la Mer where the female apostles offer flames of hope to the public.
