Nigji Sanges (*LU, 1984)
Finis Terrae (2022) Live Cinema – 82’
Co-commissioned by CAPE (Centre des Arts Pluriels D’Ettelbruck) and United Instruments of Lucilin
In collaboration with the composer Nigji Sanges, United Instruments of Lucilin will accompany Jean Epstein’s silent film Finis Terrae (1929, 82 min). The film documents the life of four fishermen who hunt down the only plant resource, seaweed, in the Ouessant archipelago. The audience can discover how the music composed by the Italian-Luxembourgish Nigji Sanges accompanies the completely isolated men in summer.

With: André Pons-Valdès (violin), Danielle Hennicot (viola), Sophie Deshayes (flute), Guy Frisch (percussion), Frin Wolter (accordion), Nora Braun (cello)
