With Cheval 2 Trois, the song brings poetry into the air

Benoît et Claudine Marc, amoureux des mots et des notes…. Claude Masse

Les Gardois présentent pour la deuxième fois leur spectacle à Avignon

"On a pris le virus !" The duo Cheval 2 Trois, based in Saint-Laurent-la-Vernède and organizer via the Chansonyme association of the Tave festival, returns to the adventure of the Avignon festival, after a first participation in the festival. rsquo;last year with their creation, the show Sing the poets! In the meantime, the show was certified by the Spring of Poets, it was performed in total around thirty times (in Vaison-la-Romaine, in Sète, in Lozère…) and has enriched itself in terms of scenography and thanks to a new song composed by Benoît Marc, on the theme of grace. In August, it will shine in the mountains, in Briançonnais. There are "always two voices, a guitar, a ukulele and percussion. We recite and sing the great poets. We question the marriage between words and notes, this mystery: why we sing ?, shares Benoît Marc. Where the poets stop, the song takes over and colors the words. The poet puts us on our knees, our heads in our hands, and the song picks us up and makes us dance or as it did writes Prévert: “The song gives air to poetry". That’s what we do!" with the direction and music of texts by Paul Valéry, Baudelaire, Garcia Lorca, François Villon& ;hellip; These enthusiasts of French poetry and song wish to share this reflection on the relationship between words and notes. "We start by distributing a grisette de Montpellier (candy) so that they all have the same taste in their mouths, as they will have the same notes in their ears and the same images in the eyes."

From Bagnols to Avignon, singing on the train!

As for the Avignon marathon, the first experience, stressful, turns into serenity. Benoît Marc praises the reopening of Bagnols station, "it’is great, we took it for every performance last year, and we're going to do the same. We will make the trip (around 10 a.m.) with the spectators and we will sing on the train!" Playing every other day allows & quot;to keep with the fishing". Thursday evening, the duo consciously organized themselves for the display. He also took part in the big parade on July 2. Financially, not paying for accommodation, "we limit the damage" .And the joy of experiencing the madness of the festival, with ten artists per m2, what a "gift".
