Directed by Maxime Suaire

With Jeanne Laffargue

KISSMOGONY

 

Eurydice is a monologue written and directed by Maxime Suaire for the actress Jeanne
Laffargue. The initial note of intent proposed to give the floor back to great female characters
still apprehended by their man. Isn't the story of Eurydice the myth of Orpheus?
Maxime gave me carte blanche for sound creation.
I sought to create a symbolist universe, but not illustrative of my representations of the Underworld.
I don't believe there is music in the Underworld, so my sound had to be able to exist in my head
of Eurydice, like a reminiscence of his Orpheus; hence the use of plucked strings for his
leitmotif. I also wanted to reinforce the introspective, sickly psychological aspect of the text;
like a dive into the tortured soul of this woman, definitely alone, talking to herself
in an incessant brooding, addressing an audience that cannot hear him.

En musique, KISSMOGONY est pensé comme un bain sonore qui enveloppe la performance, une soupe kossmique, qui se déploie sur une source de diffusion quadriphonique et via les hauts parleurs des téléphones des participant·es.

Ces dernièr·es se répartissent les 3 stems, qu'iels lancent ensuite aléatoirement à leur entrée dans l'espace de performance, créant ainsi un 1er substrat pointilliste.

Puis le système de diffusion rejoint ce substrat pour le développer jusqu'à une acmé avant de retourner au bain primordiale dans un mouvement rétrograde.
