In the wide open spaces, green and gold, that exist to this day on the plateaux of Corrèze, one still occasionally feels the 'soul of the heath' that was so dear to Gaston Vuiller. It feeds the imagination and offers an excuse for artistic creation, delving deep into the memory oft his land of stone, wood and water, forever inhabited by the magic spells of the olden days of Corrèze.
Traditional music is, of course, present, but it is nourished by modern inspiration (tone and subject), and demonstrates the universality of world music.

Between legend and reality, between the past and the present, the show hinges on a journey through Corrèze, with its inhabitants and the landscapes they have shaped, in which tradition is not an outdated memory of gestures of the past, but a passion for the savoir-faire and the savoir-vivre of the people who lived in the highlands of the Massif Central.
Songs, evocations, traditional dance tunes, musettes, orchestral compositions and choreographed dance sequences follow one another in a chronology evoking an imaginary journey.
