Lament

 

Lament is a mourning folksong showing up to a punk show. Lament is a hyperemotive trickster fantasizing about returning to medieval peasantry. Lament is a horrified gaze that doesn't stop at state borders. Lament is a syncretic ritual for the dead. 

 

Costumes by Lola Besrest and Dramaturgy by Nathaniel Moore

About the artists

Tilhenn Klapper (she|her) is a French-American artist, researcher, and performer based in Paris. Her work reintroduces mythologies and folklore into the field of political ecology, employing a multidisciplinary practice that includes performance (voice, music, dance), sculpture, and film. Her multimedia works have been exhibited at MUDAM Luxembourg (Luxembourg, LU), Kanal Centre Pompidou (Brussels, BE), and the Czech Cultural Center in Paris (Paris, FR), among others. She is a founding member of the Paris-based collective crème soleil.

 

Lucie Vaugeois is a dancer, performer, choreographer and researcher based in Paris. With a background in academia at UC Berkeley, La Sorbonne, Sciences Po Paris and EHESS Paris, as well as in dance at the CDCN de Toulouse, their work focuses on the question of history and how live performance can serve as a space for its reinvention. Alongside their own projects, Lucie finds great joy performing for numerous artists since several years, including Jérôme Brabant, Nina Vallon, Julie Nioche, Véronique His, and Tilhenn Klapper.

 

Dmitrii Vlasik is a Russian-born composer, percussionist, and performer who studied at the Moscow Conservatory under Professor Mark Pekarsky. He has gained recognition as a soloist and ensemble musician active in contemporary and experimental music. He currently resides in Paris.

 

Born in Paris to Greek parents, oud player, singer, and composer Stefanos Floras has always been immersed in music. Specializing in the modal music of the Mediterranean, he performs in various ensembles and collaborations on the Parisian scene. His work reveals the richness and depth of the traditional music of the Mediterranean basin, also imbued with modernity.
