INTERDISCIPLINE

Red lights, two concentric semicircles: behind, three musicians; ahead, three narrators. In a corner to the right of the stage, in front of a white panel, a visual artist draws with black and red fibers on transparency. She portrays those who occupy the stage space. On the stage, above the head of a stuffed animal that looks like a leopard, lights flicker. The superimposed voices of the narrators interpret fragments of texts (from John Cage and Samuel Beckett, from a television repair manual, from a local newspaper) in interaction with the musical trio. The trio, for its part, alternates, in its composition, double bass and violin, soprano sax and muted trumpet, alto sax and transverse flute. There are moments where the improvisation becomes exasperating, hysterical. Other times it's hectic, crazy, resembling free jazz. It transitions towards soft percussions, reaching absolute silences. At other times it seems to deflate, in free fall. The blue, white, green, and red lights accompany the changes in the character of the voices and the music. The narrators rotate their positions in front of the microphones, break up the speeches they have in their hands, eloquently read those incoherent clippings. The transparencies are randomly superimposed on the white panel, fragments of visual discourse that insist on the atomized representation of the scene.
