Britain's What's On Event Guide
Unsung Heroine (The Telling)
Delve into the heady atmosphere of 12th-century Provence to uncover the imagined life and love of ‘medieval Amy Winehouse’, Countess Beatriz de Dia.
This intimate piece of concert-theatre combines the plaintive music and poetry of the troubadours, foot-stomping medieval dances and a narrative for actor Anna Demetriou as the redoubtable Countess Beatriz de Dia in a remarkable collision of music and theatre.
The story imagines how Beatriz came to write her impassioned song 'A Chantar', the only example of a troubadour song by a woman where both the poetry and melody have survived. Beatriz’s poetry is grounded in the rules of courtly love. She lives in a world where emotions are sacrificed to the strait-jacket of ritual: her only recourse is to channel her pain, love and desire for revenge into this passionate song.
