ONOMATOPIE
KAORI ITO
TJP CDN STRASBOURG
In Japan, onomatopoeia has established itself as a primitive language, which the Japanese pick up on from an early age, reproducing sounds before they can name things.
For this new creation, Kaori takes up Kenji Miyazawa's text entitled Barefoot lightsin which the author uses an astonishing vocabulary rich in onomatopoeia to recount the love and sacrifice of two brothers in a harsh, snowy landscape.
With 5 Japanese and 5 French performers on stage, Kaori takes us back in time, drawing on a discography specific to the Japanese club, to the source of language: onomatopoeia.
