Creative residency.
Sound nap and headphone reading
Like a live radio creation, Traversée buissonnière takes you on a journey through excerpts from readings.
With eyes closed, body relaxed on a deckchair and ears wide open, the public is invited, with headphones on, to wander from book to book within a corpus dedicated to walking, crossing different landscape motifs. Throughout the journey, soundscapes mingle with the readers' voices.
How can we get moving together, while remaining motionless? How does reading create images and movement? How can it resonate with a live sound creation? How can we combine reading, collective experience and sensitive listening?
A cinema experience for the ear.
