Marie-Armelle Deguy & Constance Luzzati

Marie-Armelle Deguy and Constance Luzzati neither sing nor speak the language of birds, but they listen to them, happily combining prose and verse with the musical landscapes they inspire.

Interwoven, linked, adjusted, poetry and music weave a dreamlike spectacle without naivety, where words and sounds give voice to the metamorphoses of the figure of the bird.

Classical and contemporary poems and prose put into words the song of birds, their flight and the murmurations formed by their tight formations; sublimating them, depicting them in humorous and philosophical texts, making them sound and resonate with alliteration and rhyme.

The music resonates with and illuminates these texts, drawing on the rich harpsichord repertoire, the familiar classics of Mozart and Tchaikovsky, as well as 21st-century harp pieces that transform the sonic imagination associated with winged beings.
