Medieval Bosnia fascinates us with its traditions and various religions that coexisted in such a small country: Catholics, Orthodox, Jews and Muslims, but also heretical Christian Bosnians… Their texts and liturgical traditions survive in mysterious manuscripts in Latin, Cyrillic, Glagolitic script… but also in oral tradition, chant and rituals. In this programme, Dialogos meets traditional cantors, among them one of today’s youngest epic singers in Herzegovina, to seek peace and meaning in this land that was devastated by wars and hatred with still visible scars.
Ensemble Dialogos is supported by DRAC Île-de-France – Ministère de la culture and Mécénat Musical Société Générale. Coproduction Fondation Royaumont.
