CONFERENCE WITH MUSIC & DANCE
An homage to Yezidi culture

•  Writer and composer Michel Pétrossian, the Compagnie Hallet Eghayan, and the Ensemble Assonance present a conference with music and dance․

•  This original creation takes the form of a conference and broadens the limits of the genre. It gives a modern viewpoint on Yezidi culture and mythology, thanks to its music by Michel Pétrossian and Aram Hovhannisyan and its choreography by Michel Hallet Eghayan. Michel Pétrossian’s words play with the implicit poetics of music and dance.

• This creation is a part of the projects of cultural cooperation between France and Armenia presented by the Compagnie Hallet Eghayan. It has received the support of the Ville et Métropole de Lyon, the Département de l’Isère, the Ville de Grenoble, the French embassy in Armenia, and the exceptional support of UGAB France.
