At the crossroads of documentary and concert, “The City of Ladies” brings medieval music, spoken word and historic sites into dialogue. Led by the ensemble Servir Antico, the film revisits the legacy of Christine de Pizan and her work “The Book of the City of Ladies” (1405).

Conceived by musician Catalina Vicens and filmmaker Mortimer Petre, this musical documentary — co-produced by Servir Antico, Early Music Vancouver and the Erasmus House and Beguinage Museum — situates late medieval repertoire within historically charged spaces, from the Hospital of Notre-Dame à la Rose to the Erasmus House in Brussels. Combining historically informed performance with reflection on women’s memory, The City of Ladies offers an immersive experience available to stream.
