If Music Be The Food Of Love is a poetic and musical creation composed of texts by William Shakespeare, spoken or sung.

The Sonnets, Shakespeare's emblematic and intimate work, are the common thread of this amorous and bumpy journey. Said and interpreted, they are supported by an electroacoustic sound creation.

The Sonnets are also punctuated by an anthology of songs selected from the author's great plays (Hamlet, A Midsummer Night's Dream, Twelfth Night, The Two Gentlemen of Verona, As You Like It, The Merchant of Venice, Cymbeline), and set to music by great composers: Dowland, Haydn, Schubert, Poulenc and others more unexpected like Ambroise Thomas, Roger Quilter, Gérald Finzi and Percy Grainger. These songs are accompanied by the accordion.

If Music Be The Food Of Love invites you on a literary and musical journey to the heart of the English poet's most intimate expression.
