Des ailes et des ombres

Visual artist and set designer René Myrha and writer Rose-Marie Pagnard both hail from Delémont, Switzerland. In the 1960s, they moved to Basel, where became actively involved in the city’s cultural community. In an old farmhouse in Canton Jura, which they converted into a light-filled workspace, they share their lives, mutually influencing and shaping their respective works. Their wealth of paintings and writings fuels the imagination, and the presentation of this material immediately assumes the form of acts and scenes from an opera when they begin working with Guy Montavon, stage director and director of Theater Erfurt in Germany.
