Two performance evenings around the composer of Greek origin living in France Georges Aperghis. Particularly interested in “musical theatre”, he explored the sound of speech in an original way in several vocal and lyrical works that solicit the participation of the performer.
“Impressions of movements. Suspension of trajectories in an aerial visualization like the resonance of a flash in the eye. The shadow becomes an infinite space to dance. From visible to invisible, the sound weaving affirms a carnal tension. The body lets itself be impregnated with darkness and light, wandering on the white and black notes of the piano. The place is paved at the same time as the instrument. Its dome amplifies the presences. Then takes place an incantation, of a depth almost religious, even if its nature is precisely hastened by it.”
Bénédicte Davin and Eve Bonneau will be accompanied by Pierre-Jean Vranken (Quasi una fantasia, Ze Zorgs) on the piano.
