"Black Monody is a performance for two artists, a single voice, a series of movements and a subject. A ceremonial usher, a Beauty...: the poet Anne-James Chaton puts a predetermined, fixed daily life into prose; Philippe Ménard directs the duality of gender in soothing gestures. Together they deal with rhythm, in the trance form, to invite the imagination to enter it. The voice pushed to breathlessness and the gestures to the limit of equilibrium conjure the utopia of the surpassing of the being."
