Luna Park, created by Georges Aperghis in 1991 at IRCAM, marked a turning point in his integration of voice, gesture, and electronics. Fusing musical theater with advanced technology, this seminal piece reflects the composer’s commitment to experimentation and inquiry. Electronics amplify and multiply the voices, adding new layers of meaning and perception. At IRCAM, Luna Park becomes a sound laboratory where musical theater and technology intersect.

The act of creation is a wager: on memory, on the future, on how a gesture will be received once it slips beyond the artist’s control. In every field, a work raises the question of its own necessity and its place in the world. Why do certain works from the past still resonate so powerfully today? This new series of monthly encounters invites a guest to share their personal connection with a specific work.
