Samuel Beckett - Words and music: Fringes Lara, F. (+2 More)

In Words and Music (1961), written as a radio play, Beckett imagined a lonely old man, Croak, who asks two allegorical characters, Joe and Bob (who incarnate the title elements, respectively) to express certain themes. Morton Feldman wrote a score for the piece in 1987. Ivan Fedele presents a new musical setting for Words and Music, created for the stage.

English

Le verbe, son pouvoir comme ses limites et ses impasses, constitue un inépuisable terrain de création pour les compositeurs. Pour preuve ce concert qui présente notamment Words and Music de Samuel Beckett, joué sur une création musicale du compositeur italien Ivan Fedele, qui met aux prises trois personnages allégoriques qui ne parviennent pas à s’entendre, au double sens du terme : Words, Music et Croak (croassement). En forme de pendant à ce petit théâtre de l’absurde, Kassandra (1977) de François-Bernard Mâche convoque le théâtre antique, composant un « rituel onirique » qui évolue entre électronique et instrumental, entre naturel et artificiel, entre non-humain et humain. Dans Fringes, Felipe Lara explore quant à lui les marges du langage musical. Une œuvre, là encore, empreinte de théâtralité puisque, au moyen d’une spatialisation de l’ensemble instrumental, le jeune compositeur brésilien fait voyager la musique aux « franges » de l’espace.
