Silva Sonora

With this new initiatory work, Fabian Fiorini invites us to leave the beaten track and enter the forest. An archaic, primeval forest, like the one on which Europe was built — a place where spirits are summoned, where the pulsations beneath the moss are listened to, where each step opens a passage. Conceived as a journey in three waves, this unique piece stretches out in a long breath. It moves forward through internal repetitions, like calls to refocus, to let oneself be guided by one’s own trip. The pianist deliberately abandons the traditional compositional form – theme, improvisation, return to theme – to open up a wilder, almost ceremonial space. We find echoes of his work with Renette Désir and the power of Haitian voodoo, his interest in trance music in general : a human, organic electro that speaks and carries.

He maps out encounters, giving each soloist a space in which to exist. The cast, which has been in the making for almost a year, brings together collaborators who have already forged bonds. The concert will be a reunion, a place where something essentially spontaneous can emerge.
