Ircam, Espace de projection
Tickets: 5€

Experience a film for your ears in the Espace de projection, where oral literature and the pleasure of collective listening are reinvented. Each Musique-Fiction combines an adapted and signed text, an electroacoustic musical creation, and a sonic projection in an immersive loudspeaker system.

On April 14, 1912, at 11:40 pm, the Titanic sank with Giovanni Pastore on board, in charge of cleaning the 3,177 dessert spoons for the first-class passengers. Giovanni had always been the immigrant, the handyman. When he came down from the mountains of Friuli, he finally found himself a "good place" on the Titanic. Under the waves after the shipwreck, in the imagination of writer Patrick Kermann, the ship still tells the same story: the lost land and childhood, the fate of the never-counted third class, the left-behinds of all nations who hoped to reach the promised land of free labor. In this story of great and small disasters, Jérôme Combier's music conjures up a world that is distant and sunken, alive and ghostly.
