Eh bien, dansez maintenant! | Doulce Memoire

Very far from the image we have of ancient dance – hierarchical, starched, solemn – dance in the 15th and 16th centuries was elegant, refined and aristocratic, but also spectacularly virtuosic, theatrical and allegorical in the sumptuous interludes given during princely feasts.

Hubert Hazebroucq, invited both by major European festivals as a choreographer and dancer, and by universities as a researcher, will reveal, thanks to his research and his interpretations, what Renaissance dance was at its highest level.

Doulce Memoire, led by Denis Raisin Dadre, has been presenting the music of the Renaissance wind band for over 30 years. The piffari of the 15th and 16th Centuries presented music of the loud consort, or alta cappella, consisting of shawms and sackbuts, and the soft or basse consort, consisting of flutes, recorders and strings. This program will feature both, accompanying the exceptional dancing of Hazebroucq, in a program that will be a visual and aural feast of the lively and tuneful music and dance of the Renaissance.
