Visuel of the show

Love letters | Love Letters is an enormous project combining the fragile and sensitive world of Quebec composer Patrick Giguère with that of the late Julius Eastman, a gay African-American composer and performer. 

The main work is an oratorio-style work by Patrick Giguère for two male voices and ensemble pierrot based on love letters between men and taken from writings by Lorca, Shakespeare, Michelangelo and Lully. This concert, performed by the ensemble Paramirabo, features singers Vincent Ranallo and Jean-François Daignault.
