1,000 Years of Women in Music. From the Middle Ages to the present day, from Hildegard of Bingen to Aya Nakamura, Diva Syndicat tells us a new history of Western music… the history of women! Forgotten women, invisible women—but above all, women musicians, composers, and performers—whom Gentiane Pierre and Noémie Lamour are committed to helping us (re)discover, bringing “matrimoine” back to the heart of our worldview.
These two Divas Syndicalistes present ten centuries of music, brought up to date, from a humorous and burlesque perspective. In order to restore female musicians to their rightful place, the artists have fun taking on their roles—those they assumed and those that were assigned to them. This extravagant duo offers us a truly unique musical and theatrical experience. While the invisibility of women in society is a serious issue—and more relevant than ever—the artists play with stereotypes and have fun portraying these women in a different light, without lecturing… or perhaps from the back of the classroom and on top of the desk!
Mise à Feu is a theater and music company founded in 2021 by Gentiane Pierre and Noémie Lamour, driven by the need to start from scratch. A desire to connect with the audience. To “set the stage on fire” and change the world through their performances.
