The muse dictates and on some occasions she blows.  

Jeux et théorie du Duende - Federico Garcia Lorca 

A KONFESS, first part of the quadriptych Culte:s: is a performance by the musician Claire Bergerault, proposing a project that is proposed in 2 times: soli for one person (KONFESS IN) then concert in standard measure (KONFESS OUT).

CLAIRE BERGERAULT : voice, compositions, electronics

 

CHRISTOPHE MACÉ : scenography

​

KONFESS IN : SOLO FOR ONE PERSON

​

DURATION PER PERSON: about 4 minutes.

From the beginning, the scene is set: a large black box, a sculpture created by the artist Christophe Macé, is a confessional.

Two distinct spaces face each other, with a window and sounds in the center. There are lights too. One enters, and nothing will leave this box. The secret of the confession will be well kept.

This is a story of Culte:s:. In four episodes. A Konfess is the first part of this project. Under the velvety tones of this confessional-instrument, which was built specifically for these concerts, wooded intimacies and miniature preachings follow one another. A Konfess, it is a series of very short sensory mini-solos which are specific to each spectator who enters the confessional. Enough to ignite that little bit of mystery that only you can keep secret.

​

KONFESS OUT : THE GREAT MASS

​

CONCERT DURATION: 35 minutes approximately.

No more Ave Pater, but a collective revelation. This continuation of A Konfess, and its miniature solos, leaves the confessional and intimacy behind for a mass ceremony. These 30 minutes, celebrated with large quantities of electronic pads, sculptural voices and other ritual ersatz, compile out in the open what was been reserved only for select individuals during the confessional solos. 

Création le 13 Octobre 2024 dans le cadre des Baïnes de Jazz à Poitiers
