Musiques-Fictions n°5 : La Compagnie des Spectres de Lydie Salvayre
T2G - Théâtre de Gennevilliers
18 - 25 Jun 2022
The event is over
In a three-room apartment in a housing estate in Créteil, a mother and daughter live behind closed doors, haunted by memories of the Occupation and the Second World War. The mother suffers from dementia and believes that she is still being persecuted by Pétain and Darnand.
The visit of a lawyer who has come to make an inventory before the seizure of their furniture triggers the intertwined stories of their respective lives. In front of the impassive lawman, the two women engage in furious monologues as hilarious as they are monstrous. A triple encounter between Lydie Salvayre, Florence Baschet, and Anne-Laure Liégeois.
The Musiques-Fictions collection merges a contemporary text, a musical creation, and the collective experience of immersive listening under an ambisonic dome. The musical creation is in perfect contact with the literary work. The language has all the intelligibility; the music has a space of its own. The Musiques-Fictions intend to renew the genre of radio fiction, the Hörspiel, the vigil, by going beyond the simple sound illustration of the story or the dialogue. Music-fictions where the image is not a screen.
