Hervé Niquet

Romeo Castellucci's production of Christoph Willibald Gluck's mythic opera. Concurrently via projected text, we learn the story of Els, a bedridden woman with locked-in syndrome, conscious but near-completely paralyzed. A live video feed from the hospital shows Els listening to the music along with the audience.

Hervé Niquet presents in Paris his interpretation of Castor and Pollux, one of the most appreciated lyrical tragedies of the great baroque composer, in its version of 1754.
