April
Sounds and Voices
‘April’ is an experimental multi-media theater piece that fluidly merges a few discrete artistic media: opera, musical theater, straight play, and film. Composed by Franky Rousseau and Dominic Mekky, with a libretto by Samuel Bronowski, the story tells of a musician's realization that she is quickly becoming deaf, and the ensuing toll it takes on her relationships.
The narrative is told as a collection of fragmented musical scenes, memories. These occur in flashes amid an abstract connective tissue of music, sound and film, sewing the fragments together so that they have the quality of a dream: one thing melts into another, certain details are oddly proportioned, and anything that seems concrete is in fact transient, and once again sinks calmly back into the fathomless, silent ocean of the unconscious.
By Dominic Mekky and Franky Rousseau

"Le Collectif Les Tisseuses s’est formé à partir de l’envie de rassembler des femmes et des personnes non binaires autour du jeu théâtral en décloisonnant les pratiques et les imaginaires. Il est composé de huit artistes aux origines, pratiques et vécus multiples.
Les Tisseuses ouvrent leur espace créatif avec une étape de la pièce Notre tour c’est quand?, une proposition scénique intimiste.
La pièce raconte l'histoire des funérailles de Pilar, la matriarche d'un quartier. On y retrouve des femmes aux horizons pluriels venues honorer la mémoire de celle qui a su entrelacer leurs existences en leur offrant la possibilité d’assembler leurs histoires. À travers ce moment de deuil, se tissent des liens qui transcendent les frontières de leur famille, de leur quartier et de leur pays, offrant un portrait poignant de la force des relations féminines et de la sororité.
En se rassemblant à la croisée des cycles de vies, les personnages que vous allez rencontrer s’adressent des questions millénaires, et cheminent au cœur de leurs vérités en nous rappelant qu’il n’est de refuge plus solide que celui de nos solidarités.
La pièce s’achèvera par un échange entre les artistes et le public, permettant de recueillir les impressions de ce dernier. Modéré par la directrice artistique du festival.
