Concert Cursus, assistant musical Xavier Chabot. Notice: Alma-Livia is one of the main characters of Finnegans Wake by James Joyce. At the same time wife and river, poetic incarnation and insaississable image, she is told as a fluid element. She is the image of the Joyce universe : fluidity of situations space / time, ambiguous symbols, character metamorphosis, multi-understanding of the characters and overall fluidity of writing. Words come together in a dreamlike logic creating a language made of ambiguity and perpetual metamorphosis. The entire piece is centered on the last chapter of Finnegan's Wake, and therefore on the theme of renaissance brings us back to the beginning of the cycle. Thus flows Alma Luvia such an interior monologue sung by the river, worth a sleepless night in which blur the traditional markers and create visions, hybrid sounds. Copyright Florence Baschet. |
