11:00 Louise Bourgeois, chants et couleurs Badinage entre Paul Rauchs et United Instruments of Lucilin

Based on C’est le murmure de l’eau qui chante (New York, 2002), this lecture-concert brings together Lucilin’s musicians and Paul Rauchs — psychiatrist and author — drawing inspiration from the world of Louise Bourgeois, imbued with memory and nostalgia.

Marked by homesickness during her early years in New York, the artist developed a body of work permeated by melancholy, in which the fundamental figures of her imagination — the mother, the father, the nursemaid, and the hybrid forms that emerge from them — become recurring motifs. Conceived with Paul Rauchs, this lecture-concert opens up a space where music engages in dialogue with Bourgeois’s imaginative universe, between apparent gentleness and unsettling depth.

With Paul Rauchs Musicians: Danielle Hennicot, Olivier Sliepen, Michel Reis et Guy Frisch

15:00 Camille Claudel – Zwischen Genie und Wahnsinn Camille Claudel und Rodin Zwei Körper. Ein Moment zwischen Ekstase und Abgrund. Wort, Musik und Tanz öffnen einen Raum, in dem Camille Claudel wieder atmet. Nah. Verletzlich. Unvergessen. „Einander eng umschlungen, wohin gehen sie … für die Liebe oder für den Tod? … von diesem Paar geht eine so tiefe, tiefe Traurigkeit aus, wie sie nur vom Tod kommen kann oder von der Liebe, die noch trauriger ist als der Tod.“ Eine Geschichte von Begehren und Schöpfung. Von Verlust. Von innerem Feuer. Gesehen durch die Worte ihres Bruders, des Dichters Paul Claudel. Und durch die unauslöschliche Spur, die Auguste Rodin hinterließ. Kein Rückblick. Eine Begegnung. Hier. Jetzt.
