Ti'bal Tribal

Description

Dance Card As if you were there With Fernand 'Nino' Ferrer on bass, my friend of over thirty years, we took Juliette into a dance repertoire. For over 10 years, we have been touring venues and stages to make the world dance. Nino holds the fundamentals. She plays the piano and sings… I hold the (thin) drums and sing… My favorite place. The most animalistic. She engages her whole body while singing. Learning all the accents of the world through dance. I can’t think of a better way to connect. Between stage and audience. What we dance on stage, dances in the audience. A meeting of spaces in a single living body. In all its variations. Alone or in pairs, in a round of ages and hearts. Mano a mano. That’s why, in the early days of this 2020 lockdown, the world was collapsing. Mine, at least. In-person? Essential? Existential? No longer brushing against each other, touching, sweating? No longer getting close? 'Remote'? No longer leaving the stage exhausted, flabby, but with stars of hooked atoms in our eyes? Goodbye to the dance? Impossible… I found in my belongings, from computers to hard drives, the sound testimonies of 10 years of wild dances, where forms are displayed and explode. In play, in fun, in the other. As if you were there: Strasbourg, Toulouse, Miramont-de-Guyenne, Maraussan, The festival La voix est libre, Bal sur un pré. Bésame mucho! What joy to share our Ti’bal with all our guests! For those who have never felt the collective frenzy, as ardent as it is tranquil. Yes, yes, it is possible.
