En deux mouvements — La Chamansa et Tjim Alexis Ravel — cette œuvre tisse la partition d’un pays qui se cherche. Des voix se répondent et se transforment, questionnant l’origine et l’avenir, l’ancrage et l’élan.

Une invitation à l’écoute d’un monde en gestation, porté par un souffle lyrique et une émotion diffuse qui résonnent bien après le dernier accord.
