Eh bien, dansez maintenant ! – Doulce Mémoire

Denford Hall, Glenlyon Norfolk School, 781 Richmond Avenue
Imagine yourself in the elegant royal court of the French Renaissance, attending a ball with the elite of courtly society. That colourful world will be captured by the French ensemble Doulce Mémoire and dancer Hubert Hazebroucq.
Very far from the image we have of ancient dance – hierarchical, starched, solemn – dance in the 15th and 16th centuries was elegant, refined and aristocratic, but also spectacularly virtuosic, theatrical and allegorical in the sumptuous interludes given during princely feasts.
