PFor her premiere of the season on the Carreau du Temple stage, Aliette de Laleu, at the helm of Planet Ocora since the start of the school year, has chosen to celebrate renewal by celebrating Halloween, where death is synonymous with rebirth. In this festive spirit, the journalist, who succeeded Françoise Degeorges – historical producer of the show Ocora Colors of the world for eighteen years -, slips into the skin of a fortune teller and invites each of her guests to draw a card from the Marseille tarot, a clever introduction to giving free rein to their intimate interpretations.
However, it's difficult to celebrate the dead when you don't have the amplitude of a mistress of ceremonies. On stage, his words are sometimes hesitant and the exchanges with the artists still lack flexibility. However, since the start of the school year, she has defended a program that is as demanding as it is enjoyable. Like this evening where she brought together formidable artists: Sourdure (Ernest Bergez), an Occitan singer steeped in medieval songs who is both troubadour and sound magician, La Chica (Sophie Fustec), with mystical and festive songs, summoning the power of shamanic rituals from her Venezuelan origins, and the Swiss-Algerian artist Flèche Love (Amina Cadelli), who overflows with emotions when she traces her transgenerational thread, in search of healing. A joyfully incantatory concert, on the border between the world of the living and the dead.
