First, Aperghis wrote 2 concert cycles for solo voice - Six Tourbillons (1989) and Cinq Calmes plats (1992) - for the singer and actress Martine Viard.
Then, he asked Olivier Cadiot a French writer to imagine in between the musical pieces some "prières d'insérer", prayers to insert.
Cadiot says about his work :
"I had to write fragments of texts said by a singer on stage, to write to make her talk.
I did not write for the music but for a voice and that's very different. For the private life of a female singer."
She talks. She sings. She talks and sings. She talks to imaginary persons. A sweet and comic chaos in her head that we invite you to discover.
