CocoRosie, the cult duo of international experimental music, debuts at Transart25 with a brand new project La Mort De La Mer, an experimental opera inspired by the eight phases of the moon. On stage, Moon and Sea — two poetic and surreal characters — take the audience on a journey through the detritus of time, between the archaeology of human and cosmic imagination. With irony and poignant delicacy, CocoRosie rewrites the myth of humanity from its fragments. A theatrical work suspended between music and dance inviting us to reflect on the human legacy through a meditative tableau vivant outside of time. Twenty-one years after their debut, and a few months after the release of their eighth album Little Death Wishes, the sisters Bianca and Sierra Casady reaffirm with this new project their innate propensity for multidisciplinary experimentation and their poetic and narrative approach to creativity.
