A unique artistic encounter
When San Francisco's protest poetry meets French music, a unique and powerful work is born. As the result of a collaboration between French musician Schvédranne and San Francisco’s poet Agneta Falk, this project revives is a unique and hybrid show combining poetry and sound creation.
Agneta Falk, a leading figure on the San Francisco poetry scene and widow of the famous poet Jack Hirschman, joins forces with French guitarist Schvédranne to bring to life a repertoire of texts from California's counter-culture. Their performance, enriched by the presence of Céline Frezza who provides the French translations, offers a unique immersive experience where improvised music dialogues with committed poetry.
On stage, the spectator experiences waves of rythmns and sounds, created by the Schvédranne’s guitar and computer compositions and Agneta’s words. The fusion is such that they are both at the service of one another, in French, or in English, which results in enriching even more the experience.
This show pays tribute to San Francisco's poetic heritage, to feminism and to the spirit of revolt that still drives artistic creation today. It revives the voices of major poets while blending them with contemporary creations.
After the show, join us for a casual conversation with the artists!
