Existing and imaginary languages, double and multiple... on the origin of words, on light and shadow, the visible and the invisible, the lived and the becoming.

Based on their previous collaborations, Édith Azam and Alex Grillo have the desire to push further the limits of the author/composer relationship by imagining the possibilities of this new project from sound collections and writing workshops mixed with an Attic tragedy. Édith Azam offers a writing concerned with the sound of words, delivering it to the imagination of the composer who transforms it into a generalized polyphony. Based on a dramaturgy dealing with the impoverishment and disappearance of language, this project intends to question how phonemes generate a musical discourse. The scenic device will place the public in the center in an immersive listening. It will be surrounded by the actors-singers, the choir, the vibraphone and the loudspeakers.
