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.
