"Rigiri" by A Filetta
The worlds of Laurent Gaudé
Concert in conjunction with the “Worlds of Laurent Gaudé” event
Orality, multiplicity of voices, forms and inspirations: to close these 2 days, Laurent Gaudé invites A Filetta, a Corsican vocal ensemble renowned for its polyphonic repertoire. For over 40 years, this vocal sextet has been criss-crossing the planet, going from encounter to encounter and building up repertoires that are widely disseminated.
Voices: Jean-Claude Acquaviva, François Aragni, Jean-Do Bianco, Petr’Antò Casta, Paul Giansily, Maxime Vuillamier
A Filletta
The repertoire produced by A Filetta today is a faithful reflection of its progress since the early 80s: a trajectory outlining a movement initiated in a secular oral tradition and asserting itself in the meanders of an uninhibited writing style freed from any filial obligation. These include sacred and secular songs of diverse influences, film music by Bruno Coulais, compositions for choreography by Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui, excerpts from the chorus of an ancient tragedy, and pieces from a requiem commissioned by the Saint-Denis Festival.
A music at the service of a vision of the world that unambiguously rejects any identitarian withdrawal, and whose philosophy could be summed up in René Char’s beautiful aphorism: “The purest harvests are sown in a soil that does not exist; they eliminate gratitude and owe only to spring”.
