At the heart of the exhibition Defend ancestral waters, the CCCOD and the association Le Printemps des poetes in Tours offer a poetic and musical reading in resonance with the works of Hera Büyüktasciyan. “To accompany, prolong the aesthetic emotion, let the reverie drift”, the actor Bernard Pico invites you on a poetic journey along the Loire evoking “the memory of the white mulberry trees on the banks and the mysterious culture of silkworms”.
With a silk thread as Ariadne’s thread, Bernard Pico composed a collection of texts taken from Shakespeare, Ovid, Charles Péguy, Virginia Woolf but also the incredible History of the worms that spin silk from Béroalde de Verville, treatise written in verse, published in 1600 in Tours.
Géraldine Carrillo’s baroque flutes, Simon Carrillo’s electric guitar, percussion and live electronic music will weave original compositions, arrangements and improvisations with the texts, following the flow of the words. The journey will continue with two other stages: Wednesday October 16, with a writing course with Marie Remande around the theme “The voices of water”, and Wednesday October 23, with “The making of a unique book” .
