| Vert Pâle is a concert-reading by Marcelline Delbecq (text, installation, reading, singing) and Benoît Delbecq (piano and prepared piano, electronics, sampling, voices). The coming together of writing for music and a succession of mental images, Vert Pâle is a homage to the life of the Russian actress Alla Nazimova, a charismatic icon of Hollywood movies from the silent era who is forgotten today. A screen mounted behind the performers will show the subtitles of an invisible film and an excerpt from Ray C. Smallwood’s Camille (1921) in which the fascinating Alla Nazimova appears. This project was created in 2005 at the Festival Mediarte in Monterrey, Mexico. It was subsequently performed at the Fondation Cartier in Paris in 2006.
Marcelline Delbecq (F, 1977, lives in Paris) is an artist and writer. She explores the visual and sound fields through texts, videos, photos, performances and publications. She was a 2005 resident artist at the Pavillon of the Palais de Tokyo in Paris and at the Triangle in New York in 2007. Benoît Delbecq (F, 1966, lives in Paris) is a pianist and ready participant in multidisciplinary projects (reading with Olivier Cadiot, sound theater with Irène Jacob, music with Katerine, etc.). He has been developing a free collective jazz that is resolutely contemporary. This event is attitudes’ contribution to the 12th Biennial of Moving Images (BIM). Links
