CONCERNING THE PSALMS PROJECT

With “Psalms”, I would like to traverse and “to seize” the multiple directions of the relation such as they are played today in the company. What is what crowned? Is 
 What crowned today? Is 
 Why it crowned? 
 How the direction of crowned metamorphose T does starting from the personal or collective trajectories? Is 
 Which my approach of crowned? What is crowned for me? What is this I remove the sacred character from? Is 
 Which my sacrileges? As many questions which animate me. I test with this stage of my personal course and professional the desire to write contemporary psalms. It will not be a poetic verb sung, but a poetic flow not danced, on the relation (what us “Re” binds).

CONCERNING THE PART

Prologue for Psalms, is a questioning of the Choreographer around crowned. The Baroque Orchestra of Montauban, under the direction of Jean-Marc Andrieu, gives an original and powerful interpretation of the music of the Knight St George. On these notes, the particular scenic space created for the occasion is invested with force and singularity by the 3 interpreters. The creation of the video maker/plastician Elise Perrier brings additional reading levels, at the same time ludic, shifted and responsible for a strong symbolic system. This part echoes and pays homage to the plastics technician franco-burkinabé Kelly Kabré whose work was founded on the creation of works of art from waste recycled and also with regretted Doctor Jean Emmanuel Kamtchueng (pharmacist free-Cameronian and ex president of the House from Africa in Toulouse) who made me discover works and the character the Knight of Saint George. The Music of the Knight of Saint George, anchored well in her time, releases a rhythmic energy basically related to the dance. In the version “alive Music” the orchestra 
 Passions is composed of 4 musicians for the interpretation of Quartets of the Knight of Saint George (2 violins, 1 viola, 1 violoncello).

The Knight of Saint George Joseph de Bologne: If it nourished the imagination of more than one novelist, the knight of Saint-George, already mythical in his time, will have a long time escaped with the sagacity of the historians. Joseph de Bologne of Saint-George was born slave in Guadeloupe on December 25th, 1745. His father is a rich grower of Dutch origin and his mother a creole slave born in the Guadeloupe. Boarder in one of the best academies, formed as son of large lord by the fencing master Boëssière, Joseph de Bologne makes known himself in the Parisian company under the name of Knight of Saint-George. Parallel to its social success, Saint-George becomes an accomplished virtuoso. Charged very young person with the direction in the Concert of the amateurs, one of the best music groups of the world, he starts to compose. It is now by its quartets, its symphonia concertantes, its concertos for violin, its operas, which it allures and dazzles, inspiring the young person Mozart or Choderlos de Laclos, its first librettist. He attends the free trade middle of the 18th century, and is, by his social position, a figure of the emancipation of the slaves of the European colonial empires. The music of Saint-George, known only of some specialists, will remain hidden during two centuries under the dust of the archives until the general public can discover it in all its splendour and which, the prejudices defeated, it enters finally to the repertoire, where it however deserved to appear for a long time.Kelly Kabré: Artist plastics technician. Justin Kabré says Kelly was born in 1974 close to Ouagadougou. He learns the woodcarving within family setting near his father, sculptor traditional. He initiates himself with the techniques of metal during one year with the Oloron foundation and works painting in the Boromo Center where it perfect its knowledge of traditional arts. In Ouagadougou where he lives and works, He carries out many decorations and furniture and regularly presents his works in various places of the city. 
 In 2006 it accomplishes first a three months stay in France, carrying out about thirty sculptures which it presents to Toulouse with the “Living room of the 22” then in the Arts centre of the town of Mazamet “Apollo” and with Workshop 16 in Revel. Will follow in 2007 several exhibitions and invitations in various festivals. Summer 2007 “Gallery 5” of Toulouse presents a broad panorama of its work. 
 Nor international art and even less crafts or art of airport, the art of Kelly was qualified by the artist Michel Batlle of “art accidental” i.e. a art which dissociates and breaks the Western uniform thought by its ethnic inspiration, bringing a new form again within a situation where art did not lose its humanistic function not to be any more but one market.

The House from Africa in Toulouse (M.A.T): 
 the M.A.T came out on February 29th, 1992. Its objective is To allow Toulouse and the inhabitants of Midi-Pyrenees which wish it, to better know Africa in its sociocultural diversity. 
 To support the dialogue of the cultures by better information on Africa and its relations with Europe in particular, by suitable initiatives in order to promote the exchanges, it between assistance and solidarity. 
 As of its creation the M. A.T positioned on the subjects which are always of news. Since 2000, it gave to its action, in various forms, a particular orientation, always in conformity with the starting objective: to better inform on “the Africans in Europe”. The fight against racism and discriminations starts with a fight against the ignorance and the ignorance of the other. 
 The M.A.T thus chose to center its action on a memory work consisting in making known the part played by the Africans and their descendants in the History of Europe and their contributions to this History. The modification of the perception of the Other is the prelude to a modification of the behaviors. 
 It is a work citizen which is addressed to the public in general (people of all ages and any origines). 
 In each field of this action the result can be the object of a publication, from where the creation of a publisher MAT-EDITIONS (www.mat-editions.com).
