Usually playing marvelous Vivaldi or Pergolesi cantatas means transporting your audience in an antique world, to make people fully understand the music they're listening to.
Baroque Reloaded do it the opposite way: the show transports the cantatas in our digital, super connected and sometimes violent world, using their incredible power of inspiration to create a brand new contemporary and electronical musical music, in order to answer to the baroque from a present's point of view.
On stage a baroque trio, with soprano, cello and harpsichord together with a digital piano and console for the electronic part. Music flows without words between two worlds, where electronic music offers is a frame for magnificients baroque cantatas by Pergolesi and Vivaldi, and vice-versa.
A chamber version is being designed, with reduced scene and only one musician on stage.
