La Passion de Simone Saariaho

Simone's Passion is a journey
literary and musical in fifteen stages
modeled on Bach's Passions.
Here we follow the life and work of
Simone Weil, enlightened Jewish philosopher, mystic and pacifist, in struggle
against the Spanish Civil War, Nazism and Stalinism. Finnish composer Kaija Saariaho, who
now lives between New York and
Paris, is one of the brightest
musical feathers of our time -
worldwide success of his operas
Love from afar, Emilie, Adriana
Mater… His closest collaborators are called Peter Sellars but
also the writer Amin Maalouf who
sign the booklet of this Passion
contemporary, "discreet and
mighty for our lost world.
It's a team of young talents
which ardently defends this recreation: the director and philosopher Aleksi Barrière, the Secession
Orchestra and its conductor Clement Mao
Takacs, solo singer Karen
Vourc'h, who is familiar with the work of
Kaija Saariaho and who, for History,
is related to Simone
Weill. Her voice is our alter ego and questions the world, while the actress is Simone's voice. the
chorus is a third, that of the
commentator, as in the tradition of ancient theatre.
A new bedroom version
spatialized, which makes everyone sing
the colors of the orchestra; a
French creation, premiering at the Festival.

English

La Passion de Simone est un voyage
littéraire et musical en quinze étapes
sur le modèle des Passions de Bach.
Nous suivons ici la vie et l’œuvre de
Simone Weil, philosophe juive éclairée, mystique et pacifiste, en lutte
contre la guerre d’Espagne, le nazisme et le stalinisme. La compositrice finlandaise Kaija Saariaho, qui
vit désormais entre New York et
Paris, est l’une des plus brillantes
plumes musicales de notre époque -
succès mondial de ses opéras
L’Amour de Loin, Emilie, Adriana
Mater… Ses plus proches collaborateurs s’appellent Peter Sellars mais
aussi l’écrivain Amin Maalouf qui
signe le livret de cette Passion
contemporaine, « boussole discrète et
puissante pour notre monde égaré ».
C’est une équipe de jeunes talents
qui défend avec ardeur cette recréation : le metteur en scène et philosophe Aleksi Barrière, le Secession
Orchestra et son chef Clement Mao
Takacs, la chanteuse soliste Karen
Vourc’h, qui connaît bien l’œuvre de
Kaija Saariaho et qui, pour l’Histoire,
a un lien de parenté avec Simone
Weil. Sa voix est notre alter ego et interroge le monde, tandis que la comédienne est la voix de Simone. Le
chœur en est une troisième, celle du
commentateur, comme dans la tradition du théâtre antique.
Une nouvelle version de chambre
spatialisée, qui fait chanter toutes
les couleurs de l’orchestre ; une
création française, en avant-première au Festival.
