Notes sur la mélodie des choses
Gustav Mahler & Rainer Maria Rilke
In his Notes on the Melody of Things, the poet Rainer Maria Rilke ponders what connects people and the role of art in that aspect. Based on this idea, Gabrielle Resche and Océane Deweirder weave a subtle music & theatre performance, in which Rilke's poetry echoes in Mahlerian beauty, exploring the fragile relationship between earthly love, divine power and artistic commitment.
The address to the public is direct, and the all performance is like one line developping in conversation with the audience. Rilke thoughts become so simple to understand, echoing in the large phrases and rich harmonies of Mahler.

Baroque concert & writings
Rhétorique du sauvage
Between its magicians, its outraged characters, its immortal relationship to love and faith, the vocal world of baroque music oozes the wild part of the Human being through the golden age of rethorical art.
This concert offers a deeply contrasting immersion into the territory of incantation sin baroque music. Every rethorical tool (ornements, baroque gestures) is gathered to celebrate the indomitable part of Humans.
