BERNADO - BIRGÉ - EDSJÖ
Défis de prononciation
GRRR 3092 online, 2017

*
Errare humanum est. In art, mistakes make style. Machines are incapable of this, knowing only bugs. From one language to another, our mispronunciations fuel the alliterations that are the subject of our improvisations. Our accents trace a musical line from Auch to Stockholm, crossing Les Lilas, longitude 2°25′14″ East. From Andromache to La grande vadrouille, the snakes hiss, the ugly fly flies, the rats grope for rice, Peter Piper pecks peppers, she sells shells, the sailors are seasick, the big bells ring, there's no propeller, that's where the bone is...
The show is entitled Défauts de prononciation (pronunciation flaws), but there were so many of them, just one flaw, challenges!


Improvisations recorded live on May 12 2017 at Le Triton, Les Lilas, by Florian Tirot, and mixed on May 18 by JJB at Studio GRRR
