Demi-Véronique
Mahler’s Fifth Symphony is the matrix of this work. When we listen to Mahler’s Fifth, what strikes us, what « captivates » us in the physical sense of the word, is this oscillation between infinite humanity and sweet irony. It opens interior spaces, it throws us from dark melancholy into panicked savagery, it bears within it secret worlds that only ask to break through, to be born or be reborn.
So there: we put all this music into us, into the deepest corners of our bodies and of our hearts and we composed Demi-Véronique, a musical and theatrical saga that takes place in a charred interior, a house burned to ashes. In bullfighting half-Veronica is the name of a figure in which the torero lets the fan of his cape trail over the bull’s head, leading him in a close curb to his hip and forcing him to stop his charge. Like the crotchet rest in music, it is a pause, a suspension from which everything can start anew and transform.
And there we have, amongst other things : a man looking for the cycle of metamorphoses, an invincible fish, a steaming kiss, fickle ears, a melancholy crumbling, a tragic house, a heart as heavy as the world, the little humiliating circus of human contradictions and a piece of recalcitrant crisp-bread.
