Catherine Ringer

Catherine Ringer sings the sensual poems of Alice Mendelson. Accompanied on the piano by Grégoire Hetzel, and directed and set to music by Mauro Gioia, the multi-faceted singer takes hold of these cheeky, joyful poems.

At over 90 years of age, Alice Mendelson's loving, playful language allows herself to be daring. She celebrates feminine eroticism as a passionate song of carnal body-to-body, proclaimed in full voice, without apology or embarrassment. Her concept of a generalized eroticization of life and relationships is the expression of an affirmation, that of making vice and joy standards in spite of and against all the denials of existence. This poetic event unfolds like a dance full of humor and mystery, featuring the dazzling personality and talent of Catherine Ringer.
