This concert takes as its central figure Yseult, a medieval heroine who defies the female archetypes of her era — neither virgin nor witch, but a mysterious enchantress combining fascination and unease.
Performers Nathanaëlle Blanc-Pélissier and Mona Hilaly weave together musical traditions from medieval Europe and the Mediterranean, blending sounds from different origins with legends, poetry and oral tradition.
The programme is presented in the Petrarch Hall of the Hôtel de Varennes, an atmospheric setting well suited to this journey through medieval sound worlds.
