A Combination of Sounds
This work – the result of the creative collaboration between
pianist Irina Kataeva and actor Pierre Lamoureux – is a synthesis of music,
poetry, dance, light and video.
The composition is constructed in such a way as to highlight the natural
relationship between musical texts and poetic images in melodies and rhythms,
while the movement and acting expressiveness form an emotional and imagistic
visualisation.
This portrayal of two centuries of French poetry demonstrates various styles
and trends in music. It is important to point out that it is works by Russian
composers that will be performed against a background of poems by French
writers, which allows us to feel the deep empathy between these two national
cultures.
Poets, artists and performers all ask questions about their role in the world
and in society. Through artistic images they try to express their principles and
touch on themes affecting almost everyone which are complex and, at times,
painful – themes of love and enmity, of war and the search for harmony with
nature, of death and hope and of our destiny.
