    In the pitch, the inflec­tions, the silences and hesi­ta­tions of the women’s voices she hears in songs and films, on the radio, in artists’ works, novels and the essays she reads, Clara Schulmann hears ways of catching her own breath to finally speak out.

    Using a series of women’s words she had assem­bled in a frag­men­tary manner in her book Zizanies, this time Clara Schulmann imag­ines a fes­tive and poly­phonic Vigil for the 2021 edi­tion of the Nuit Blanche.

    Bringing together indi­vid­uals from a range of fields, artists, writers, singers, researchers, yoga prac­ti­tioners, beat­boxers, etc., people for whom voice is a key fea­ture of their prac­tice, this event will host a range of oral form­s—­songs, read­ings, speeches, con­fer­ences, stand up artists, etc.—in a fes­tive atmo­sphere. During the evening, the guests will con­tribute to this ephemeral com­mu­nity of voices, inter­vening one after the other to create a long col­lec­tive per­for­mance. Listening to the cir­cum­vo­lu­tions of speech, its inflec­tions, hesi­ta­tions, rep­e­ti­tions, silences, bab­blings, giving in to the min­gling of shared accounts and feeling the power of orality, are so many expe­ri­ences that everyone can assess them­selves against before this stage for solo voices.
