collectif9 & Architek Percussion: My Backyard, Somewhere — Semaine du Neuf
My Backyard, Somewhere is a reflection of our sense of connection between people and places: a poetic migration through words and sounds.
Anchoring the show is the bilingual poem “across/virage” by Canadian author and performer Kaie Kellough, an integrating element bringing the themes of the programme to the forefront – movement, language, belonging to a place, a culture. The music, written for the two ensembles, is a journey through the styles of five multidisciplinary composers from across Canada - Eliot Britton, Nicole Lizée, Derek Charke, Luna Pearl Woolf, and Bret Higgins. Whether with lyricism, groove, exploratory textures, or pop culture technologies, the voices of the composers, author, and performers communicate with each other and with the audience throughout the concert. collectif9 and Architek Percussion are joined on stage by Kaie Kellough (spoken word).
