Vocals, recitation
The Sicilian artist and singer Laura Mollica is regarded by national and international critics as the spiritual heir to Rosa Balistreri. From a very young age, she encountered leading figures in Sicily’s artistic and cultural scene, such as Ignazio Buttitta, Rosa Balistreri, and Ciccio Busacca. Since 1980, she has been tirelessly promoting Sicilian folk music around the world. Since 2011, Laura Mollica has been listed on UNESCO’s Intangible Cultural Heritage list among the “Expressions of Sicilian Cultural Identity.”

Maria Hellberg

She has worked in events as well as in theater, dance, and music, which remains her favorite field. She works for various festivals in the South of France, where she lives: Festival le Bon Air, Marsatac in Marseille, as well as the Les Nuits du Château de la Moutte festival in Saint-Tropez (classical music, opera, and jazz). She freely expresses herself through the art of lighting design in the productions of the Risonanze Company.

Marie Lelardoux
An Outside Perspective and Listening
As a director, Marie Lelardoux’s theatrical and radio productions are guided by a reflection on the nature of existence and by the search for a gentle, illuminating silence. Following valuable years of study in theater and literature, filled with insights and encounters, she earned a master’s degree titled “On the Set of a Work in Progress” (supervised by Matthias Langhoff). From these experiences, lived in accordance with linguist De Saussure’s statement that “the point of view creates the object,” a desire to “compose” performances emerged, through a process of writing and rhythmic, sensitive assembly. She founded the Cie Émile Saar in Marseille in 2003.

Geneviève Sorin
Choreographic Consultant
After training in classical dance with Igor Fosca, Geneviève Sorin danced in the 1970s and 1980s with some of the leading companies (Félix Blaska, Ballet Théâtre Contemporain, Joseph Russillo, Susan Buirge...). She then left Paris to settle in Marseille. There she crossed paths with Dominique Bagouet and established herself as a dancer, choreographer, musician (accordion), and teacher. Geneviève Sorin thus has two fields of expression: music and dance. Dancing and choreographing, performing and composing—her work lies at the intersection of these two arts and seeks to expand this shared territory. To date, Geneviève Sorin has created more than twenty choreographic and musical works, a radio play, albums (Le Goût du Jour with the Raymond Boni Octet, After the Rap with Boni’s Family, Harmonia Mundi, Infini with Grand8, Mazeto Square), and several commissioned choreographic and musical pieces.
