Pierre Henry, Le voyage
Inspired by the Tibetan Book of the Dead, Le Voyage was composed by Pierre Henry for Maurice Béjart's ballet of the same name. The narrative of Le Voyage traces in 7 parts the journey of a human being who, after death, is led towards reincarnation. Thierry Simonot, curator of this concert, performs this monument on AMEG's acousmonium, which he personally set up for the festival.
