Approved

Composed for soprano, percussion, video and electronics, this show takes as its starting point the text La Ralentie by the poet Henri Michaux. On the edge of esotericism, he explores the notion of border between inside and outside, intimacy and emptiness. Divided into two spaces by large panels of openwork paper, where strange shapes drawn by light emerge, the stage becomes the place where two characters with contrasting attitudes express themselves, observe and seek each other: the soprano, whose speech and song intertwine to immerse the listener in a dreamlike atmosphere; the percussionist, whose every gesture seems to arise from a powerful and irrepressible inner life.
