Prelude: Concert of film music quartets
When the magic of cinema meets the elegance of classical music… Let yourself be carried away by an exceptional musical moment with a string quartet, made up of three violinists and a violist from the Orchestre symphonique d’Aix-Marseille. The greatest film scores will be revisited with passion and virtuosity to relive the emotion of Star Wars (John Williams), the spellbinding universe of Lord of the Rings (Howard Shore), the intensity of Gladiator (Hans Zimmer), and much more… A gripping performance, between thrills and nostalgia, by the Bowstroopers group.
Synopsis:
Dr. Daniel Jackson is an Egyptologist rejected by the scientific community for his controversial theories on the link between the pyramids and extraterrestrial worlds. After a conference, he is recruited to work on a secret project to decipher a mysterious slab unearthed at Giza in 1928.
Demonstrating his talent brilliantly, the army revealed to him the existence of the Stargate, a mysterious circular structure covered in hieroglyphics, found under the same slab. Daniel penetrates the secret and manages to activate it. From then on, he takes part in the expedition led by Colonel Jack O’Neil, who plans to cross it to explore the planet to which it leads.
