Comme ses paroles, Saturday evening
Accessible if a little over long. I enjoyed the start - cello tapping, singers exchanging syllables and sub-syllables of what were recognisably french words. EXAUDI are stunning performers. The central section reminded me of a requiem mass - none the worse for that. The latter section descended into cacophony for no apparent reason. I found myself wishing each pause would be the final one. A moment of unintentional comedy occurred when someone walked across the front of the stage. Because all the performers were moving about, I was not sure whether or not this was part of the performance.
