AU COEUR DE L’HIVER 

Au coeur de l’Hiver – Variation in 12 tables

In 2020, when he began work on La Dernière Reine, Jean-Marc Rochette decided to make Les Étages, in the Écrins massif, his year-round home. The hamlet had not been inhabited in winter since the 1960s.

Cut off by several avalanche paths, its access road closes in December and opens in March. It is on this island of ice and snow that the author embarks on a winter sojourn in the form of an inner journey, where the everyday rubs shoulders with the extraordinary.

Attacks by wolves, avalanches, disappearances, a poignant encounter with a fox: on stage, in dialogue with the music and voice, Jean-Marc Rochette sketches out the generous and violent beauty of the high mountains.

A total immersion in the heart of winter.
