Requiem is the first word that appears in a Mass for the dead. A musical ceremony performed at a funeral as a commemoration of the deceased, offering through music, a point of light and spiritual comfort during the darkness of the grieving process.
An ephemeral ritual that harmonises the bridge between life and death, and unites the community in which one of its members has passed away.
Night Requiem replaces the original liturgy of a requiem with scenes, songs and dances inspired by the choreographic, social and personal universe of Bob Fosse: movement, word, music and video, united in a choreography for 10 performers and 2 live musicians.
A ritualistic experience between legacy and parody, humour and tenderness, that reflects on the beauty of death and transforms it into a cabaret of feathers and glitter. Drawing on “All That Jazz” (1979) and Fosse’s cinematic legacy, the show is divided into three acts: the audition, the creation and the performance.
