The unclassifiable Lula Heldts will be in concert on Saturday January 18 at Atelier 81 at 8:30 p.m., as part of the Eclats program.
After a daring adaptation of Le Cid in November, eclecticism is still in order with the Eclats association which will this time offer songs on rue du Père Bonsirven.
Lula Heldt is an artist who explores her voice in an experimental way by playing with the different possible timbres, ranging from lyrical to gypsy voices and sometimes bird song…. We can hear fragments of world music, trances, but also Spanish chants or even English with a reinvented accent which she uses with humor offering poetic, dreamlike and crazy songs.
The author, composer and performer, thus unfolds her universe in a percussive way with Alfred le Cello, her cello, straight from Romania, which she uses without a bow, like a double bass.
Her musical influences are very diverse, Nina Hagen and Iva Bittova inspired her to use her voice like a musical instrument, Barbara, Edith Piaf and Jacques Brel were her pillars of interpretation of texts.
At the invitation of Eclats, she will offer her show “Bain de Lunes” in Lavaur, a sort of intimate, feminine cartography, where gentleness and revolt are associated and assumed. His texts are written with all sincerity, drawn from his emotions.
The next stage of the Eclats cultural season will take place on February 1st. Musical theater for young audiences will then be on display with “Racine” by Anne Contensou which intimately embraces the question of family, cultural and social origins, under the Halle aux grains. A new stage will follow at Atelier 81 with “Happy ends”, songs by Chloé Lacan and Thibaud Defever. Something to delight all audiences.
Reservations for all these shows must be made on the association’s website (www.eclats-lavaur.com) or by telephone with radio R d’Autan on 05 63 58 26 00.
