Asked by his uncle to settle down and get married, he says he loves the beautiful Ketty, who is a triumph at the Buffalo Circus. Neither Max\u2019s uncle nor Ketty\u2019s father accepts what they see as a mismatch. At Ketty\u2019s insistence, Max decides to become \u00ab\u00a0king of the circus\u00a0\u00bb : he dreams of becoming an acrobat, then a flea trainer, takes on an opponent in a boxing match and, believing he has faked a dressage act, turns up smiling in front of a ferocious lion.

From the Greek \u03a0\u03ad\u03bb\u03b1\u03b3\u03bf\u03c2, the open sea, its name evokes the immensity of the oceans and raises the question of its extreme fragility in the face of the onslaught of pollution. The \u00ab\u00a0open sea\u00a0\u00bb has thus become a sea \u00ab\u00a0full of waste\u00a0\u00bb which must lead us to change our behaviour. The musical part of the piece uses an original instrumentarium made up of recycled waste (polystyrene, bottles, cans, metal parts, pvc, etc.) and an electroacoustic device to complement it. The cinematographic part of the film, produced in the form of a docu-fiction, combines archive footage (with images supplied by the CNRS) and filming in situ, taking the viewer on a dreamlike journey where the real collides with the imaginary. P\u00e9lagos aims to raise awareness and is part of an eco-citizen approach to educating people about consumption, waste and recycling.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/UwpK2FTh99k?si=QYOV90TU_COTRKsz\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<hr>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><b><strong>L\u2019\u00ceLE PARADIS QU&rsquo;ON NE DOIT PAS DIRE<\/strong><\/b><strong><br \/>\nMusical and visual creation by Pierre-Adrien Charpy &amp; Isabelle Fran\u00e7aix<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-370 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/raphaelekennedy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/flyer-IP.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"468\" height=\"600\"><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The writer Henry Bauchau (1913-2012) writes to himself and addresses his intimate reflections to his readers.

Laid down? Perhaps. But surrendered? Hell no! \u00ab\u00a0The Bolshevik-style revolution would come after the liberation \u2013 we\u2019d have to be ready!\u00a0\u00bb But things didn\u2019t turn out that way. For two generations, this has been the story we tell each other by the fire in the evening. But ten years after his death, one enigma has still not been solved : where did he hide his weapons? Philippe, his grandson, has since returned to live in the mas de la Dauphine. He suspects that his grandfather hid his weapons in an adjoining building, in the old bread oven enclosed by a cinderblock and brick wall. Over the course of a weekend, he, his wife Ferial and their three children are determined to break down the wall that separates them from the historical truth, and thus perhaps put an end to a family legend. More broadly, it\u2019s an opportunity to question the meaning of history, of belonging to a territory or a place, of the transmission of values from one generation to the next, of family heritage\u2026 More prosaically, everyone has the right to fantasise about what lies behind this wall. Treasure? The corpse of a German soldier? A painting by Picasso? The famous weapons? Nothing at all (which is what everyone secretly fears\u2026)? This wall to be broken down quickly became a symbolic issue. Ferial\u2019s dual Palestinian and German origins are marked by the building of a wall. This heritage collides with Jean Bec\u2019s history. On her mother\u2019s side, the Berlin Wall has become the historic symbol of a divided people. On her father\u2019s side, the wall separating two antagonistic peoples, in a territory from which her family was expelled in 1948, then forced to take refuge in Jordan. As if locked out. For her, the Mas de la Dauphine is above all an opportunity to make a fresh start. It\u2019s a question of reseeding the family and the environment, far removed from her parents\u2019 conflict and the suffering of the farmers in Jean Bec\u2019s day. Should we break down the walls to start a new story, \u00ab\u00a0to transform a place of suffering into a place of pleasure\u00a0\u00bb, as she puts it? Or, as Gwena\u00ebl, one of her sons, thinks, should we leave untouched what doesn\u2019t belong to us? The more the cinder blocks of the Dauphine wall crumble, the closer we come to solving the mystery, and the deeper we plunge into psychological introspection and doubt.<\/p>\n<p><center><\/center><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/s2C7ggsqHNU?si=7wYILUJqdU42QKiT\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<hr>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #800080;\"><b>BLU-RAY<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<hr>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><b>EKSTASIS<\/b><br \/>\n<b>Kaija Saariaho &amp; Jean-Baptiste Barri\u00e8re<\/b><br \/>\n<\/strong>Aliisa Neige Barri\u00e8re | Camilla Hoitenga | Rapha\u00eble Kennedy | Design and realisation of the images, electronics and final mixing, electronics realisation : Jean-Baptiste Barri\u00e8re | Video processing : Pierre-Jean Bouyer et Fran\u00e7ois Galard | Video shooting, editing and color grading : Isabelle Barri\u00e8re | Technical &nbsp;conception and supervision : Image Auditive | Engineering, editing, vocal and instrumental sound mixing : David Lefeber \/ Metier Productions | Electronics realisation : Thomas Goepfer | Booklet notes : Didier Lamare | Translations : Paul Willenbrock | Digipack&rsquo;s pictures and booklet&rsquo;s cover : Jean-Baptiste Barri\u00e8re | Booklet&rsquo;s photographs : Isabelle Fran\u00e7aix | Graphic design : Luc Van de Velde | Interviews moderated by Pierre-Adrien Charpy, directed by Isabelle Fran\u00e7aix<br \/>\nBlu-Ray &amp; CD box set AVECypres 02 \/ CYP2624<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-213 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/raphaelekennedy.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/12\/EKSTASIS-POCHETTE.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"auto\"><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-458\" src=\"https:\/\/raphaelekennedy.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/10\/CYP2624_ekstasis02_BACK-COVER.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/raphaelekennedy.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/10\/CYP2624_ekstasis02_BACK-COVER.jpg 1659w, https:\/\/raphaelekennedy.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/10\/CYP2624_ekstasis02_BACK-COVER-300x268.jpg 300w, https:\/\/raphaelekennedy.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/10\/CYP2624_ekstasis02_BACK-COVER-1024x915.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/raphaelekennedy.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/10\/CYP2624_ekstasis02_BACK-COVER-768x687.jpg 768w, https:\/\/raphaelekennedy.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/10\/CYP2624_ekstasis02_BACK-COVER-1536x1373.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 767px) 89vw, (max-width: 1000px) 54vw, (max-width: 1071px) 543px, 580px\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"page\" title=\"Page 16\">\n<div class=\"layoutArea\">\n<div class=\"column\">\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Sensory correspondences, displacement of the imagination, reversal of perspectives: it is to a similar experience that <em>ekstasis<\/em> invites you, a musical recording and multimedia object built by sound and image around six works by Kaija Saariaho and Jean-Baptiste Barri\u00e8re. The complementarity of their creative paths, living together and often working in the same way, draws the quite precise organization of the work presented in this album. Prima la musica, dopo la visione&#8230; The three works of Kaija Saariaho are musical compositions, sound constructions, acoustic and electronic, pre-existing the vision of her husband. Jean-Baptiste Barri\u00e8re&rsquo;s three pieces were conceived as multimedia works, and first of all for the visual concert, with lines and rhythms that are perhaps more direct, leaving open spaces to receive the images. The object is both a premiere and, if not an assessment, at least a look at twenty years of multimedia work by Jean-Baptiste Barri\u00e8re on music, and especially around the visual concert. Fixed for the first time on a high definition support, with a maniacal care given to the calibration, the editing, the breaths, the creation is freed from the vicissitudes of the stage to face other constraints.<br \/>\nDidier Lamare<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/286655906?portrait=0\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">An intoxicating Blu-Ray puts into sound images \u00ab\u00a0six visual concerts\u00a0\u00bb by the Finnish composer Kaija Saariaho and the French composer-video artist Jean-Baptiste Barri\u00e8re.<br \/>\nL\u2019Echo, St\u00e9phane Renard, 2019<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Ekstasis box, a precious and unusual object.<br \/>\nA sensory journey that accompanies a music that is just as much.<br \/>\nLe soir, Ga\u00eblle Moury, 2019<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">[&#8230;] The three works by each composer have the same propensity for intimate confidence.

The second volume unfurls in one breath a concert-work which is nothing less than a panorama painted on fresh plaster, depicting an almost hallucinatory voyage in which the listener is invited to dance just as much as to meditate.

[&#8230;] This soprano has a deep sense of declamation which is marvelous here in this music which is permanently based on the text.<br \/>\nUtmisol, Hubert Stoecklin, 2011<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">[&#8230;] The soprano Rapha\u00eble Kennedy is an exact accomplice of the Buxtehudian piety. [\u2026] [She] knows how to stimulate the power of words from within, both Latin and German motets. However, to the accuracy of her expressiveness is added virtuosity, not conquering and sure of its effects, but concerned with touching, rather than pleasing. This is the most fervent portrait of this outstanding creator [&#8230;].<br \/>\nClassica, Roger Tellard, 2011<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Buxtehude transmuted. [\u2026] In these pieces, Rapha\u00eble Kennedy&rsquo;s timbre and phrasing are marvelous: her sometimes ethereal voice and unaffected singing have just the right amount of human character to give sacred laments, with a final Klag-lied, in other words, a lamentation, which she unfolds with emotion like a painful litany that would never end.<br \/>\nMusikzen, G\u00e9rard Pangon, 2011<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In the service of superb opuses to be discovered, [the instrumentalists] create a subtle, intimate and poetic universe to support and dialogue with the very beautiful timbre of the soprano, suave, airy and perfectly controlled.<br \/>\nZibeline, Fr\u00e9d\u00e9ric Isoletta, 2011<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The CD tastefully combines religious cantatas for soprano and instrumental pieces. I listened to them with enthusiasm from the first bar to the last. This was the first time I had heard the soprano Rapha\u00eble Kennedy and I was immediately impressed by her clear, present voice, which sparkles in the high notes and displays its full brilliance while always being in tune with the Christian humility of these religious texts. The whole Da Pacem ensemble is as good as the soprano. \u00ab\u00a0Da Pacem\u00a0\u00bb means \u00ab\u00a0give peace\u00a0\u00bb, and this is precisely what the musicians achieve: none play aggressively or put themselves forward, but no one hides either. Working together, they create a great musical density, in other words, they make music in a discreet, fine way, full of love and tension.<br \/>\nRadio S\u00fcdwestrundfunk, Doris Blaich, 2011<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"mailto:dapacem1901@gmail.com\">Order by mail<\/a><\/p>\n<hr>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>ANDR\u00c9 CAMPRA<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Motets \u00e0 une et deux voix<\/strong><br \/>\nDA PACEM : Rapha\u00eble Kennedy, Claire Lefilli\u00e2tre, Virginie Descharmes, Pierre-Adrien Charpy | Engineering, editing, sound mixing : Franck Jaffr\u00e8s<br \/>\nArion<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-331 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/raphaelekennedy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/pochette-campra.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"auto\"><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Andr\u00e9 Campra is a federator of French and Italian styles, even in his smallest motets.
