NocesLed Silhouette, Pamplona Chamber Choir

Noces, by the company Led Silhouette, is a contemporary rereading of Stravinsky's Les Noces. It begins where the original work ended: in the nuptial bedroom.

The piece explores the transition from house to home, among intimate and ritual aspects, and what remains hidden. A journey between the ancestral and the present, which questions love, cohabitation and belonging: what does it mean today to inhabit a bond?

Led Silhouette, together with the Pamplona Chamber Choir, revisit the nuptial rite as the trigger for questions about love, cohabitation, intimacy and identity. Through body, music and image, there emerge recollections, symbols and rituals that sustain or destabilise the way we live.

The Pamplona Chamber Choir was founded by Luis Morondo in 1946. Its repertoire includes music from the 15th, 16th and 17th centuries, avant-garde music, its own heritage and contemporary music. Among other awards, the choir received the 2018 Prince of Viana Culture Award.
