Hardy Fox, one of the creative forces behind the San Francisco art-rock band the Residents, has died. Or maybe not. In keeping with all things surrounding the infamously anonymous avant-garde pop group, that since 1972 has released more than 40 albums and two dozen multimedia projects, even the state of one of its key members’ mortality remains a mystery.

Εμπνέεται από τη φύση και τις τοπικές μουσικές, από τους σαμάνους της Αφρικής μέχρι […]

Nobody witnessing the turmoil of 1968 was waiting around for a salve like "The Weight" — or could have predicted how fundamental those songs would become.
Nobody could do camp quite like Klaus Nomi. He left the downtown New York club scene speechless with soaring operatic vocals, dressed in his signature triangular vinyl tuxedo complete with smoke bombs, punk rock nuances and 1950s sci-fi sound effects. On any given night, you could have found a young Jean-Michel Basquiat or Keith Haring…

Quand le récit d’une petite fille côtoie la destinée d’une légende du rock. Suspicious Minds est le récit d’une femme qui revisite son passé traversé par un secret de famille. Dans une rencontre imaginaire avec Elvis, la narratrice se confronte à la destinée. Un voyage immersif, musical où l’intime se mêle à l’universel. Un spectacle qui navigue entre les époques et les émotions. Le chaos et la douceur, le rythme et le blues, l’ombre et la lumière. Un spectacle qui navigue entre les époques et les émotions. Ce texte adapté pour le théâtre est extrait d’un récit écrit il y a 10 ans par l’auteure. Une histoire singulière traversée par un secret de famille. La singularité du projet réside dans le fait que l’autrice est aussi la musicienne. Les deux aspects sont liés également dans la narration, puisque la vie d’Elvis est présentée en parallèle au récit de la narratrice. L’histoire du rock est intégrée à l’histoire de cette famille, dans le contexte de l’époque, social et culturel. En outre, l’amour de la langue est indissociable de sa musicalité. Les sources d’inspiration sont très nombreuses : le destin, la fragilité d’icônes comme Elvis ou Marilyn, les récits familiaux mais aussi les films où il est question d’enfance, de non-dits, de liens et de manques. Auteur et Musicienne : Chantal Pignol-Grizard (alias taloujazz) Artistes : Claire Puygrenier Et Musicienne : Chantal Pignol-Grizard (Alias : Taloujazz) Metteur en scène : François Podetti Durée : 1h – Tous les vendredis et samedis à 19h au Théâtre Le Guichet Montparnasse
