Les Filles-au-Diable, talk and choir, Musée d'Aquitaine, Bordeaux

Musée d'Aquitaine

On Sunday 22 November 2026 at 15:00 the Musée d'Aquitaine in Bordeaux hosts a musical talk titled Les Filles-au-Diable, about the women called witches at Steilneset. The historian and author Christelle Taraud tells how Anne Lauritsdatter was executed in 1621 with twelve other women in northern Norway, and how a memorial built in 2011 honours women burned alive in the 17th century, who were victims of femicide rather than witches. Through this place of memory and the experiences of two women, the talk offers another history of witch hunts, echoing present-day hatred of women. It is followed by songs from the Râle Co, a feminist choir of about fifty members, guided by the musicians Lisa and Margo. The session runs from 15:00 to 16:30. The listing does not give a price. A talk followed by a choir performance is easy to attend alone, since the audience shares the same interest. «Cette conférence sera suivie de chants choisis et interprétés par la Râle Co , chorale féministe» Starts 15:00, ends about 16:30.

The story of the goat that came from nowhere and the woman from the depths of time is described as an idyll that renews a world of attention to living things, without ignoring concrete, tourist houses and ravaging fires. The full price is 30 euros, with reduced rates from 8 euros. The listing gives 21:20 as the end. A single voice on a stage is easy to join alone. «Le récit de la chèvre surgie de nulle part et la femme venue du fond du temps.» Starts 19:30, ends about 21:20.
