The Letter (Originale) 

Texte: Ghislaine Vautier / Voix parlée : Emily Harries 

​

Hi Emily,

I was watching snow fall on a TV show and it reminded me of a strange, lovely day when I was seven years old.

We were living in New York in an apartment on the 10th floor. I was waiting for my mother as were going out to a store especially for me. I was going to buy a new scrap book ; I loved to do cut-outs of people and animals and different objects which I then pasted into scrap books. I had saved Pocket money to buy a new book and was standing in front of the open window of my room, holding all of my nickels and dimes in one hand. The sun was shining merrily and I was feeling very happy.

Then, by accident, I let one nickel fall. It went down, twinkling and shining, all the way to the courtyard, ten stories below. It was so, so pretty I couldn’t stop myself. One by one I let each coin fall to play in the sun and just stood there watching and humming to myself.

My mother came in as I let the last one go. She had to do what mums have to do: she sent me down to the courtyard to find my coins. I couldn’t find a single one. So Mummy said; «you will have to save your money again Ghislaine. We won’t go to the store today.» I had to wait for a long time before I could buy a new scrap book which I am sure I would have forgotten all about by now. But I can still see the coins dancing in the sun.

Love,

Ghislaine

The Letter 

Texte: Ghislaine Vautier, Laure Brisa 

Musique : Laure Brisa, Canblaster

I was waiting for my mother

The sun was shining merrily

I was feeling very happy

Then by accident 

I let one nickel fall 

Twinkling and shining 

I couldn’t stop myself

One by one I let each coin fall to play in the sun 

and just  humming to myself.

I can still see the coins dancing in the sun.

Let’s sit to the sun 

Let’s stare at the sun 

It’s a shinny day 

Oh My visions

Extrait de Kirik Düsler

Musique : Guillaume de La Villéon, Laure Brisa 

​

On imagine une comète qui reviendrait après des siècles du royaume des morts

Et, cette nuit, traverserait la nôtre en y semant les mêmes graines

​

We were here we are not anymore

​

Toi qui dors maintenant

Et qui respires en même temps

Que la mer

Moi, suspendue toute entière

Enveloppée dans la chevelure

De l'air

​

The road brought a man

Who came to lie on the stone

He eyed me

All the full moon night long

He shook my soul with his eyes

And I played for him, for him

​

Seagulls were flying around

The abbey was drowning

​

Here ran a tear, oh lord

Please remember

And the wind took him over

The zephyr took him over

Cause I asked to the day

I prayed to the day

Under this burning sun

In the empty abbey

​

How has he come, how has he gone

He came with the wind

And with the wind he went

​

Splendid existence

In gold in red

See the sapphire trees

He brought wild horses

And peacocks from other spaces

​

Here grew a blossom, oh love

Please remember

And the wind took him over

The zephyr took him over

​

Doors slamming since the dawn of time

​

Ο ζέφυρος, ο απηλιώτης, ο βορέας, ο απαρκτίας, ο νότος, ο

καικίας, ο λιψ, ο εύρος, ο αργέστης, ο ολυμπίας, ο σκίρωνας.

La Chambre 

​

A ta place je me suis allongée
j'ai vu mes yeux
dans ceux d'un autre te regarder
Il n’y a rien de grave,
La chambre s'est renversée
 

Et le veilleur attendant que la nuit passe
Tournait ses yeux vers ailleurs
 

Je flotte je sens ton cœur qui bat
Je sais que demain je ne serai plus là
Il n’y a rien de grave,
La chambre s'est renversée
 

Écoute nos corps nous suivent
L'horloge s'est arrêtée
Regarde, nous dansons
Il n’y a rien de grave
La chambre s'est renversée

Extrait : d'Ophelia

Hamlet Acte 4 Scène 5 - Entre Ophélie

( Musique : Laure Brisa / texte : Shakespeare )

​

​ You must sing, “A-down, a-down,”

And you, call him a-down-a.

O how the wheel becomes it!

It is the false steward, that stole his master’s daughter.

There’s rosemary, that’s for remembrance; pray you, love, remember. And there is pansies, that’s for thoughts.

There’s fennel for you, and columbines.

There’s rue for you, and here’s some for me; we may call it herb of grace a’ Sundays. You may wear your rue with a difference. There’s a daisy. I would give you some violets, but they wither’d all when my father died. They say ’a made a good end—

“For bonny sweet Robin is all my joy.”

To be, or not to be, that is the question

How should I your true love know

  From another one?

By his cockle hat and staff,

  And his sandal shoon.

He is dead and gone, lady,    

 He is dead and gone.

At his head a grass-green turf,

 At his heels a stone.

White his shroud as the mountain snow

Larded with sweet flowers,

Which bewept to the ground did not go    

With true-love showers.

 Lord, we know what we are, but know not

what we may be.

Then up he rose, and donned his clothes,

And dupped the chamber door,

Let in the maid, that out a maid

Never departed more.   

By Gis and by Saint Charity,

Alack, and fie for shame!

Young men will do't if they come to't;

 By Cock, they are to blame.   

Good night, ladies, good night. Sweet ladies, good night, good night.

They bore him barefac’d on the bier,

Hey non nonny, nonny, hey nonny,

And in his grave rain’d many a tear”—

Fare you well, my dove!​

​

Voici du Romarin , c’est pour ne pas oublier

Je vous en prie mon amour

N’oubliez pas

Dans le tourne disque en grec ancien, les mots d’Aristote :

ἀεὶ γὰρ εἴδωλον ἐδόκει προηγεῖσθαι βαδίζοντι αὐτῷ, ἐξ

ἐναντίας βλέπον πρὸς αὐτόν. Τοῦτο δ& ἔπασχε διὰ τὸ τὴν ὄψιν

ἀνακλᾶσθαι πρὸς αὐτόν· οὕτω γὰρ ἀσθενὴς ἦν καὶ λεπτὴ

πάμπαν ὑπὸ τῆς ἀρρωστίας, ὥστ&ἔνοπτρον ἐγίγνετο καὶ ὁ

πλησίον ἀήρ, καὶ οὐκ ἐδύνατο ἀπωθεῖν - ὡς ὁ πόρρω καὶ

πυκνός·

Qu'est ce qui passe entre nous?

Qu'est ce qui coule entre nous? 

​Le vrai mot en dessous 

Qui a déjà nagé si profond ?

Vous savez ?

She said,

What have you seen in my eyes?

What have you seen in me?

This is not only because I'm pretty

No, no Why me?

​

He kept silent

He didn't dare

He stared at her

Space was troubled

He thought

What goes between ourselves

What flows between ourselves

​

Something said no no

Something said uh yeah

The real word underneath

Who has ever swum so deep?

You Know?

​

No, we know, we know

But we do want

​

Have you seen the man, wandering?

Have you seen his broken wing?

Is that him you're looking at? Is that you?

Begging love at the boarder?

Behind his own barbed wire?

​

Have you seen that child?

Have you heard the silence of her foodsteps on tiptoe?

To not disturb this deserted banquet

With nobody to share

Have you seen the old woman in the caravan

The bottles of whisky, those generous eyes

And that stagnant anguish

​

No, we know, we know

But we do want

​

They danced at the boarder

They danced in the troubled water

Their sensitive laught

Their drunken bodies

Their oxidised hearts

​

And Trembling you know

​

At dawn they doved through space

At dawn they escaped

To this glittering place

Where Butterflies come

Where Butterflies go

We are Butterflies

​

Today is a beginning

Paroles et Musique : Laure Brisa

Today is a beginning 

The metal sea shimmers

Oh My glorious sister

I removed my skins 

To come back to you

And now I hear 

And now I feel 

Our sorrows collide and collapse us 

The blind heart holds on to the lie

Find a sword against illusion          

Look over the sky 

Look under the sea

How they are a mirror 

​

Time’s wings are beating 

You’re a tiny twig

Carried by the gusts 

Beat the rythm of the wind 

Cross the storm as a conductor baton 

Oh my glorious sister 

My shinny soul

I’m staring at you 

I swear I will carry you 

I swear I will love you

​

​

My eyes as a beacon, 
Look for you in heaven 
In a sea of clouds  
I say your name 

I just want you 
To speak to me once again  
About the wind 
About this open sky 
We both know that we fell from a height 

I feel asleep now, i'm ready to hear 
Do you see the light 
Behind my door? 
Will you enter? 
I'm dreaming of a field 
In the center 
There is a tree 
Made of our bodies 
Connecting heaven and sea 

Thus love crossed the sky 
Wearing the hair of a star, 
Dead since the dawn of time 
The story above

 Flows over us

​

An eagle cries in the wild sky

Look at this heat

How can he survive ?

​

What a day hidden away

Cause i need to heal my sorrows

My life that you ignore is here

And nobody knows

My heart takes a breath before the morrow

This lazy day will give momentum

​

What a day hidden away

Cause i need to heal my sorrows

My life that you ignore is here

And nobody knows

​

October is almost done

Are you gonna come ?
