L’Encyclopédie de la parole Suite n°2

How do you bring an archive to life on stage? L’Encyclopédie de la parole is an artistic project that has been collecting and cataloguing recordings of works since 2007 with the aim of revealing the richness of oral expression in all its forms.

With its series Suites chorales, which began in 2013, the group is also adapting this collection into stage plays. Following the dazzling Suite n°1, the festival is now presenting the world premiere of Suite n°2, an anthology of sound documents vocally reproduced by five soloists. In this musical comedy words pop up that have been said somewhere already. It is a piece where the action happens only through what is being said: the hesitations, outbursts, silent whispers and subtle tones of the voices. Suite n°2 is a fun and exhilarating work that shows just how much the world is made up of words.
