Le Margherite

What if resistance to the harshness of the world could take the form of inefficacy? And if opening, not finishing, restored to this era its share of hope? Subverting expectations, celebrating fragility, daring to diverge and digress: with as a subtext the modesty of daisies, and as a guiding principle the desire of the moment, Tant’Amati’s new work takes as its principle the ambivalence of levity, of innocence, of simplicity in an intensely brutal world. In it, Erika Zueneli returns with some of the young performers from Landfall and her longstanding collaborator Sébastien Jacobs, who sculpts a live audio landscape of words and sounds, of baroque melodies, of French rock, of Italian songs. In a play of settings, of opacity and transparency, of appearance and disappearance, of gestural and textile surprises, a shifting focus sketches fleeting tableaux in which, at any moment, the familiar encounters the unexpected.
