On the programme in Clohars-Fouesnant: Los pasos perdidos
An invitation to meditation and dreaming, we invite you to take a breathless journey through the world of flute music from the ancient civilisations of mankind: from medieval double flutes, direct descendants of the flutes and Aulos of Greek and Roman antiquity, to the double and triple flutes of the ancient civilisations of Mexico, the 3-hole flute and drum of medieval minstrels, which have survived in several traditions of France and Spain, but also among several Amerindian peoples from Mexico to Peru, whether they are made of bone, ceramic, reed or bamboo, wood, hollowed out (love flute of the North American plains Indians), or turned (Western recorders)... to seduce the living or communicate with the spirits.
"Be above all a beast of breath", Franz Bruggen used to say in his provocative way during the master classes he gave at the end of the 70s... or "a mystic of breath", as several traditions suggest... This programme is therefore a questioning of the original power of the music generated by this "primal" breath, which can lead to trance, meditation or jubilation.
