Suite n°4
After Suites no1, 2 and 3, Encyclopédie de la parole returns with the final part of their highly acclaimed series. In this Suite, the collective presents a performance about absence, like an opera without singers or a theatre without actors. Despite this physical absence, the characters are palpably present. Like ghosts, they return from a distant place and let their voices be heard. Get ready for an installation that makes use of all Kaaitheater’s resources; a sonic and visual journey where the voices are accompanied by the music composition of Brussels ensemble Ictus. By focusing on the infinite versatility and musicality of human speech, Suite no4 is a celebration of what is most vivid and most fleeting about humanity. It is a way of letting all those valuable but otherwise unheard voices resonate one last time.
• The Encyclopédie de la parole collective explores the spoken word in all its forms. Joris Lacoste also directed the first three Suites, which each brought recorded voices to life with great virtuosity. The three previous parts were likewise presented during the Kunstenfestivaldesarts. The Brussels music ensemble Ictus is a fixture in the Kaaitheater programme.
