The Châteauvert contemporary art center welcomes Mathilde Barthélémy and Mélanie Loisel for a week around their creation concert-ritual to sing about death which will take place in the community hall adjoining the art center.

Ritual creation conceived as a variation around farewells to the dead. " Threshold ", is an imaginary ceremony with two voices, a double bass and objects. A dance with many faces that unfolds according to a plastic scenography. sounds and songs, stories and gestures seize the space, complain, tribute, laugh, liberating cry, turning sadness into an infinite song. From contemporary music and improvised music, this performance is based on contemporary sound research, polyphonies of textures and materials, para-instrumental techniques, multiple voice game modes. Influenced by ethnomusicological and anthropological research, this creation is strongly inspired by traditional music linked to funeral rites. “So walled in silence, so-called civilized societies have forgotten the civility of dying. »
