On the Road with Les Âmes Perdues
Musical Journey through the Enchanted Grounds of De Notelaer

Les Âmes Perdues digs. Not with shovel and boots, but with voice, accordion, cello, piano and recorder. For this creation, the Antwerp-based music-theatre trio delves into the layered past of De Notelaer and the Scheldt flowing beside it. What they discover begins to sound.
Take part in a musical walk around the pavilion, where we wander, pause and listen. The Scheldt is not a backdrop but a driving force: trade route, boundary, quiet keeper of stories. What it has carried for centuries rises again here in music.
The repertoire moves freely and without borders: from light to salt-tinged, from exuberant to intimate, from Renaissance dances by Tylman Susato to chansons by Kurt Weill and Edith Piaf, songs by Boudewijn De Groot and Willem Vermandere, with a touch of Poulenc and a hint of Boris Vian. A vivid sonic landscape, mingling and shifting like water along the riverbank.

De Notelaer - pavillion
Along the Scheldt dike in Hingene, you come across a striking building: the Notelaer Pavilion. The pavilion was constructed in the late 18th century in a neoclassical style. It served as a hunting lodge and a festive reception space for the noble d’Ursel family. The pavilion was part of their castle estate in Hingene and was used to welcome guests with a view of the Scheldt.The circular salon in particular, with its magnificent parquet floor and historic interior, is breathtaking. During the perfomance you can enjoy the beautiful surroundings.
