Camille never felt as free as when she produced Ilo Veyou, through her music, balanced between stripped-down songs, vocal experimentation and mocking and playful pop music. At this concert, where pieces of traditional folk music, nursery rhymes, ballads and R'n'B can be heard, Camille re-appropriates various influences, borrowing in particular from certain vocal techniques of Bobby McFerrin, that New York jazzman who plays with his body as though it were percussion, plucked string or woodwind instruments. She also has us rediscover the singular sound of the prepared piano, invented by John Cage. Camille and her companions believe that music is an immense playing and experimental field, like the phonetic game on the name of their new concert, Ilo Veyou, an anagram of I love you, for a universal love song. Its titles come from specific spaces, like those that can be discovered in Avignon: dance halls, an abbey, chapels and churches... Spaces with very particular acoustics that resonate with the vibrant and living bodies of the musicians and spectators. By investing the Boulbon stone quarry, Camille takes up the challenge of sharing her music in an even more atypical venue. For a unique concert, celebrating life and inviting the spectators to a poetic transhumance, in music and in their own body. CC
