Fantasia, the quest for joy, movement, energy, is a celebration of music for the danse. Fantasia proclaims the imperishable and sacred of a sensual and playful universe, served by an eclectic instrumentation, a blend of traditional and contemporary orchestrations: violin and guzhen (China), sitar, vina and sarod (India), gamelan (Indonesia) , flamenco guitar, oud and ney (Middle East), quena and charango (Andes), oriental and western flutes and percussions. The ensemble revolves around ritual songs and radiant clamors (Ujaj song from Ecuador, "ratsi rope" song from the Solomon Islands, "gerewol" party from the Bororo Fulani from Niger, "kozi-kozi" dance from Haut-Xingu Brazilian...). Where the words stop, in a spontaneous emotional beat, imaginary dances spring up.
