Emmanuelle Huteau, with Olivier Depoix, you are offering a show entitled “The Ankou, its life, its work.” What does the Ankou represent for you?
To remain faithful to Anatole Le Braz, he is the worker of death. We imagined a fiction where a person meets the Ankou and questions it, based on the texts of Anatole Le Braz and François-Marie Luzel, as well as the book “Les chemins de l’Ankou” by Daniel Giraudon. Of course, we added our touch and gave it a playful shape.
You are both musicians, what do you play?
We drew on the Breton tradition, the song An Ankou and others about anaons, wandering souls. There are compositions by Olivier and music evoking the subject, from Lully to Fauré. Olivier sings, plays the accordion and the bagpipes. I sing and play the clarinet and bass clarinet.
What audience are you addressing?
We’re playing fake scientists, so it’s for people who can attend a conference. There is no horror, you can come for the music.
