A reading of Edgar Allan Poe's Le Cœur révélateur by actor Éric Malgouyres, with musical accompaniment by Carjez Gerretsen on clarinet and David Louwerse on cello, featuring works by Thierry Pécou, Graciane Finzi, Alfred Schnittke and improvisations.
The music naturally intertwines with Edgar Allan Poe's monologue, amplifying its tensions and underlining its silences. In this show, listening becomes more attentive, the senses sharpened by the timbres, pulsations and vibrations of sound. At times, time seems suspended, and silence becomes a character in its own right. Breaths, echoes, muffled shudders and strange sounds punctuate the reading, intensifying every word, every beat of the text...
For at the heart of this work is madness. And murder, relentless, inexorable.
