Music Reading: The Fire and the Birds

Description

Actress Pauline Epiney and singer-songwriter Aurélie Emery will bring to life the text "Le feu et les oiseaux" by Céline Cerny and Line Marquis. Céline Cerny and Line Marquis have jointly authored a book, a collection of incantations and images. In response to this vague threat, fueled by thousands of images and numbers — forecasts of the collapse of our political, economic, and social systems, whose forms and timelines are unknown to us — they strive to counter the staging of this dystopia with a resilient imagination. In a sequence of fragments addressed to a loved one, the narrator weaves reflections on our connection to the animal world and our distant past, hope for gender fluidity, the importance of imagination, and the power of stories in our lives. A musical reading, performed by Pauline Epiney and Aurélie Emery, revealing the power and beauty of the text during their enchanting first collaboration. - Concept and reading: Pauline Epiney - Composition and singing: Aurélie Emery "Le feu et les oiseaux" © Céline Cerny and Line Marquis (art & fiction, 2023) 20 CHF per person Reservation recommended: Online ticket sales Image credit: Marc Emery Note: This text was translated by software for machine translation and not by a human translator.
