In creation, with 100 singers and 50 musicians serving the new score of the swiss composer Louis Crelier, on an original libretto by Valérie Letellier.
**A musical journey from darkness to light**
Through the absurdity of war, the work explores the paradox of a peace fueled by violence. Dying for a flag is never enough to bring solace. No glory can be born from spilled blood, no victory can be built on massacres… The wounds of the past, silent yet alive, continue to haunt generations. The work draws inspiration from the stories of soldiers, prisoners, and refugees to affirm the necessity of an education capable of fostering a new consciousness.
