the essentials Lavelanet-culture will roll out the menu for its 2023-2024 season on Tuesday October 10, before the evening continues with a free concert by the company Ecoute ton bruit.
The ritual is now well established. Every year, at the beginning of autumn, municipal officials present the new cultural season of Lavelanet-culture.
On Tuesday, October 10, from 8:30 p.m., Franck Farez, deputy mayor in charge of culture, and Emilie Allabert, representative for the programming of live shows, will present the 21 shows of the new program. And reservations are already going well since the release of the 2023-2024 brochure. It is therefore a safe bet that, this year once more, there will be no empty chairs in the Marie-Christine Barrault room. Especially since the show “Storm” by the company Ecoute ton bruit, which will follow the presentation, looks promising if we judge by the performance offered to a panel of entertainment professionals, in February 2021, at the end of artist residency at the Casino de Lavelanet. “A ray of sunshine in the gloomy climate that reigns in the world of culture,” commented Emilie Allabert, when the Covid had put a leaden pall on the performance halls.
The company results from the meeting of Sébastien Gisbert and Guilhem Desq. Two creative musicians, alchemists of sound, who merged their worlds following meeting in the United States, that of the hurdy-gurdy and percussion.
Sébastien Gisbert is a percussionist from Toulouse, with precocious talent, having engaged in a high-level classical training course at the age of 14. His curiosity and eclecticism pushed him to travel, to meet artists from all over the world and to discover a multitude of percussions, then integrated into his playing. On stage, all of his instruments are a spectacular universe in themselves, into which Guilhem Desq’s electric hurdy-gurdy fits without clashing in the least. However, hurdy-gurdy and percussion refer to very distant representations.
With a luthier and traditional musician father, Guilhem Desq began playing this instrument at the age of 8, before quickly playing in traditional music groups. After ten years of apprenticeship at the Tarn conservatory, he met great masters of the hurdy-gurdy. His real musical turning point came when he made a personalized electric viola hurdy-gurdy with his father.
With “Storm”, the duo thwarts the traditional codes of percussion and electric hurdy-gurdy. Through the magnitude of the musical gesture, the two artists invite you to take an initiatory sound path. Through an ode to the “body-instrument”, to exploration, to travel, they deliver a musical itinerary imbued with urgency and poetry. “Storm” lets the power of the imagination emerge and invites the public on a journey that gives way to atmosphere, sounds, textures.
Reservations, strongly recommended on 05 61 01 81 41.
