PROJECTIONS : LOVE SONGS + LIGHT
LA SEMAINE DU NEUF · Tribute to Claude Vivier
Past event
The vocal collective Phth invests its body and voice in this visceral and dreamlike interpretation of the work Love Songs by Quebec composer Claude Vivier. This art video revitalizes the work of the renowned Quebec composer, while remaining sensitive to his whimsical and dramatic style. Sensitive to the achievements of the queer milieu since the work's creation in 1977, the heteronormative relational structures of the score are subverted, celebrating the ambiguity of gender and sexuality.
Rounding out the program is a screening of Light, a mono-opera composed by Jimmie LeBlanc that revisits a central moment in Montreal writer Klara du Plessis' (South Africa/Canada) triptych Hell Light Flesh (2020), a poetic and narrative work in which a writer recalls, through creation, a moment of complicity with her mother, as the latter tried to protect her from the domestic violence her father inflicted on his older son.
