Concert and philosophical mediation

Times and voices

in partnership with the ProPhilia project and the Université Côte d'Azur, the Musée national Marc Chagall is joining forces with the first edition of the Festival of Philosophical Diffusion, organized from March 30 to April 17, 2024.

With Eugénie de Mey, mezzo-soprano singer, Michael Grébil Liberg, singer-performer, and Thomas Morisset, lecturer in philosophy, co-director of the D.U. ProPhilia and Cordées philosophiques.


Presented at the Musée national Marc Chagall, the Message Biblique painted cycle interweaves biblical time, the evocation of the dramas of 20th century history and the memory of Chagall's intimate life. This superimposition of time can be explored through music, which brings together secular and religious songs, ancient and contemporary. It also invests the field of the voice, which is characterized by its singularity: the sung voice is not the spoken voice, and different phonation techniques question what makes the very unity of a voice. The musical program will thus highlight these different interpretive issues of yesterday and today.

As for the philosophical mediation, it hopes to enrich the aesthetic experience of the concert by opening up to philosophical questioning about personal identity raised by this superposition of times and voices. The first edition of the ProPhilia festival responds to a dual ambition: to publicize the work undertaken over the past four years, and to offer a varied program that can showcase the diversity and exacting standards of contemporary philosophy, while remaining accessible.

Created in 2020, at the Université Côte d'Azur, ProPhilia is France's only university-based training program for disseminating philosophy to a wide audience. Responding to a strong social demand for philosophy emanating from various milieus (school, cultural, prison in particular), the ProPhilia project aims to structure a university and professional response to this demand.
