Theatrical and musical show "Dans la forêt", on 5 August in the grounds of the Baracci baths.
Description :
Nelle and Eva, aged seventeen and eighteen, have always lived in their family home in the heart of the forest.
When civilisation collapses and their parents disappear, they remain alone, determined to survive.
They still have their passion for dancing and reading, but in the face of the unknown, they will have to learn to grow up differently, to fight back and to trust the forest around them, which is full of inexhaustible riches.
A real literary shock in the United States and a worldwide bestseller, this is a sensual and powerful learning novel.
How do you adapt Jean Hegland's deeply poetic, initiatory and contemporary novel to a concert format?
The idea would be to immerse the listener in this story almost with their eyes closed, in order to create the mental images of a cinematic work that simply doesn't exist.
So we have to make a rigorous choice of texts, a skilful breakdown to fully enter the story and convey its full scope through voice and sound.
Accompanied by the soft, fragile voice of actress Esther Cristiani and the instrumentarium of Marc Sauveur Costa Aka North Frequency Canal, Dans la Forêt alternates between ambient electronica, field recordings and post rock, giving way to hybrid music and lyrics delivered in the pure spoken-word tradition.
