"The macabre dance of women followed by the new dance of men augmented by the tale of the three dead and the three living, the debate between a body and a soul, and the complaint of a damned soul"

At the end of the Middle Ages – an era constantly confronted with death, due to the Hundred Years' War (1337-1453), famine and the plague – death shows its face, in art and in literature. It is in this tormented context that the “danse macabre” or “dance of the dead” appears, a theme that brings together painting, music, poetry and choreography.
