Musical reading by actor Roland Vouilloz and musician Didier Métrailler. Vocal performance of texts by Fribourg poet Olivier Vonlanthen.
Mutilation of Oak Trees is a sound and poetic work based on a text by Olivier Vonlanthen written during a writing residency supported by Cellules poétiques, La Muette - espaces littéraire and Textures. Roland Vouilloz's voice and Didier Métrailler's percussion immerse the audience in an immersive listening experience, made up of raw and transformed material. The marimba plays a central role, surrounded by percussion instruments made from or derived from wood, arranged in the space like a soundscape to be explored. The wood is struck, rubbed, vibrated and then left to silence, entering into dialogue with the text and the memory of the living.
Following on from Des ailes dans la nuit (2024), Mutilation des chênes continues an exploration of deep listening and the relationship between speech, sound and perception. The piece offers a sensitive and immersive experience, giving the audience the freedom to enter into the listening, to experience its tensions and to welcome its inner resonances.
