A Sentimental Landscape

With the support of Bazaar St So

logo OM

At the Bazaar St So, a former railway depot with preserved industrial architecture, an unexpected landscape takes shape: A Sentimental Landscape. Choreographer-performer Alban Richard and composer-instrumentalist Florentin Ginot weave together gestures and vibrations that resonate through the concrete and metal of the building. An experience of total immersion.
