Les Grandes Absentes

Je te donne, Laissez-moi danser, S'il suffisait d'aimer, Désenchantée... Yes, some refrains are eternal. But what role do popular songs play in our lives? How do they help us, how do they accompany us? After Dalida, Jean-Jacques Goldman and Daniel Balavoine, this second installment of Neiges Éternelles stages a fantasized encounter between Céline Dion and Mylène Farmer. The actresses re-enact, divert and invent, based on stories collected from fans who reveal their relationship to the songs and these two stars. Through this game of make-believe, they question what it means to be a woman artist, to become a public figure, to wield symbolic power - and what these figures make possible for those who love them. Somewhere between homage, investigation and performance, the show becomes a space for truth and sharing. Or how to tune, in music, the intimate and the collective.
