This second of three concerts devoted to Jörg Widmann – the last in the Louvre’s ‘‘Boundaries’’ series – features two clarinet quintets written two hundred years apart. In a timeless dialogue, Mozart makes use of all of the instrument’s expressive potential, while Widmann’s music demonstrates his inexhaustible inspiration, his admirable combination of tones and effects and a fruitful relationship with the history of music.

François Chaignaud
Petites joueuses

Dance

The Festival d'Automne continues, for the third year in a row, its partnership with the Louvre Museum. Together, they have been building up a collection of new contemporary performances dedicated to the museum and its works. On the occasion of the 'Figures du fou. Du Moyen âge aux romantiques' exhibition, which explores the subversive value of the foolish or the nonsensical in medieval society, the dancer and choreographer François Chaignaud brings us Petites joueuses. In this piece, an immersive and uninterrupted journey through the medieval Louvre, mutant and resonant creatures take over its fortifications, giving rise to a somewhat disturbing carnival.
