Like Pina Bausch before him, Aurélien Bory was invited by the Teatro Biondo to work in Palermo between 2020 and 2023. In the Sicilian capital, at the Palazzo Abatellis, he discovered The Triumph of Death , a fascinating monumental 15th - century painting. Reproduced to scale (six meters by six), the anonymous work became the backdrop for a moving human fresco that stages the invisible: the disappearance of life.

Lille Opera

There is a theatre on an island in the Mediterranean, more specifically, on an island which is bathed in world history as no other. The sea seems like a continent in itself. Sadly, it has become the silent stage of unacceptable tragedies. That theatre cannot distance itself from its identity, its artistic identity,when it establishes its programming. Palermo is a name of Arabic origin which means “open port”. Today it can still pride itself on the tradition of hospitality and tolerance which is part of the DNA of the city. Similarly, our research will be centered around cultural opportunities and the cross breeding of different traditions.
