lecture radiophonique de Chats Lunatiques

lecture (F.Cats), montage son K7 (J.CHarroy)

"j’ai attrapé le tournesol squelette et je l’ai planté à mes côtés comme un spectre."

Florence Cats et Joseph Charroy présentent leur travail en direct. Photographies, textes, assemblages sonores sur K7 témoignent de la magie des chemins, la poésie de leur quotidien, la brume qui les caresse.

* lecture de leur carnet de voyage Chats lunatiques édité en 2011 à Lamaindonne édition ;

* échange sur leur exposition Le Temps Suspendu - jusque samedi 10 mars à l’ancienne charcuterie au 16 avenue Paul Dejaer (St Gilles) - où une lecture/projection aura lieu lors du finissage, ce samedi à 18h.

Pablo_Ribot_-_Conversaciones_con_Samuel_Beckett-_Fragmento_III :3’00
Pablo_Ribot_-_Conversaciones_con_Samuel_Beckett-_Fragmento_IV :3’00’’ Six pieces composed by Pablo Ribot in honoring to the great writer, playwright and poet Samuel Beckett. (album Creative Commons Licenced on SuRRism Phonoethics )

Although Neither is frequently called an opera, and occasionally even an "anti-opera," it bears more relation to a "Monodrama" than any conventional opera — imagine a droning, minimalist Erwartung freed from the constraints of narrative. Rather than relying on the unfolding of a story to provide a sense of drama, Neither draws its persuasive power from an escalating musical tension, relentlessly cycling between Beckett’s harrowing stanzas as it spirals toward its "unspeakable home." Constant, ebb-and-flow tension ; an impending sense of revelation that never quite flowers into climax ; an apprehension of the timeless present as being both liberation and prison — all are qualities that may equally well describe the music of Feldman or the writing of Beckett. —A. Ruch

Waiting for the text from Samuel Beckett to compose the opera Commissioned by the Rome Opera in 1977, Morton Feldman received this libretti - poem of 87 words.

NEITHER

to and fro in shadow from inner to outer shadow

—

from impenetrable self to impenetrable unself by way of neither

— 

as between two lit refuges whose doors once neared gently close, once away turned from gently part again

—

beckoned back and forth and turned away

—

heedless of the way, intent on the one gleam or the other

—

unheard footfalls only sound

— 

till at last halt for good, absent for good from self and other

— 

then no sound

— 

then gently light unfading on that unheeded neither

— 

unspeakable home
