My singing seeks a language before language, a voice from the beginning, a song of the body that has its roots in both breath and cry. I question what states, what emotions the body and voice go through when they travel between breath and cry. These universal sounds belong to and envelop all cultures, languages and songs. This experience of sonic archaism is certainly one of liberation, of rediscovering one’s original voice, of daring to be whole, without artifice, outside the overly restrictive zones of control. It is playing with all possible vocal sounds in these fields of possibility.
It is this adventure that I explore each time my voice and body unfold in space, in time, in listening. This is what I invite you to share.
On 7 May at 20:00, Isabelle Duthoit can bei heard in the concert ‘Duthoit – Berthelot – Sakai’ in exploratorium berlin.
