At the age of 34, Quebec composer Claude Vivier was murdered by a man he picked up in a Parisian bar. On his desk, an unfinished piece of music appeared to foretell his own death.

The man and myth are inseparable from Vivier’s music, driven by a dangerous life lived at the very extremes of human experience. From there, he brought back a vision of the pure sound and light of eternity.

In this immersive spectacle for 10 singers, actor, keyboards, and percussion, Vivier invites performers and audience to become “celebrants” in a transformative ritual journey through life, death, and beyond. Experience this critically acclaimed reprise before it tours to Europe.
