Totem
Sound Performance by Etienne Bultingaire (France) and Sylvie Marceau (France)
presented on 24 September 2011 at Besançon (France)
A truncated tree in the centre of a circle. The forces of the forest converge towards this erected totem. In this magical place, the public is invited to a secular musical ceremony, an homage to the benevolent woodland spirits. The evening is punctuated by fleeting performances: beams of sound tickle the spectators’ ears. The woods become instruments, the woods become an orchestra. The spirit appears.
