Le Livre des Reines, cr\u00e9ation originale de la chanteuse lyrique persanophone Camille Bordet, fait dialoguer des \u0153uvres f\u00e9minines de la Perse et de l\u2019Europe, d\u2019aujourd\u2019hui et d\u2019hier. Po\u00e9tesses, compositrices, h\u00e9ro\u00efnes, mystiques et penseuses, leurs paroles franchissent les si\u00e8cles pour rejoindre notre pr\u00e9sent. L\u2019artiste fran\u00e7aise au parcours atypique les fait surgir comme des pr\u00e9sences vivantes qui interrogent encore notre rapport \u00e0 l\u2019amour, \u00e0 la m\u00e9moire, \u00e0 la libert\u00e9 et \u00e0 la transmission, nous rappelant que les histoires oubli\u00e9es continuent d\u2019habiter le monde, attendant simplement d\u2019\u00eatre \u00e9cout\u00e9es.
La soir\u00e9e s\u2019ouvre comme on franchit le seuil d\u2019un \u00e9den, avec la cr\u00e9ation Le Jardin des Roses des artistes montr\u00e9alais Juulie Rousseau et Saeed Kamjoo. Des vers de Saadi, R\u00fbm\u00ee et Hafez aux pages du Petit Prince et de Charles Baudelaire, la rose appara\u00eet comme un fil invisible reliant les mondes. Fleur de beaut\u00e9 autant que de perte, elle r\u00e9v\u00e8le les \u00e9lans de l\u2019amour, les blessures de la s\u00e9paration et les m\u00e9tamorphoses de l\u2019\u00eatre.
Cette double soir\u00e9e r\u00e9v\u00e8le les liens profonds qui unissent des traditions que l\u2019histoire a trop souvent s\u00e9par\u00e9es. Les textes persans r\u00e9pondent aux r\u00e9pertoires anciens europ\u00e9ens, les traditions orales rencontrent la cr\u00e9ation contemporaine, et les imaginaires se croisent sans renoncer \u00e0 leur singularit\u00e9.
Avec Camille Bordet et Habib Hosseini au chant (ainsi que Juulie Rousseau dans la premi\u00e8re partie), Saeed Kamjoo au kamancheh, Madeleine Owen au luth et au th\u00e9orbe, Maryam Tazhdeh au tar, Sheila Hannigan au violoncelle et Hamin Honari aux percussions, chacun apporte la m\u00e9moire de son instrument, la profondeur de sa tradition et la sensibilit\u00e9 de son parcours. \u00c0 cet ensemble s\u2019ajoute, dans la premi\u00e8re partie, la derviche tourneuse Shraddha Danielle Blaney, dont le mouvement circulaire incarne visuellement cette qu\u00eate d\u2019absolu. Ensemble, ils composent un univers musical et chor\u00e9graphique o\u00f9 l\u2019\u00e9coute devient le premier geste de cr\u00e9ation et o\u00f9 les voix s\u2019entrelacent dans les d\u00e9dales de la diff\u00e9rence.
Les deux cr\u00e9ations se rejoignent dans une grande finale, partageant avec le public un moment de communion et de g\u00e9n\u00e9rosit\u00e9, et fusionnant tous les temps dans un m\u00eame espace de r\u00e9sonance. Dans cet instant suspendu, la Perse et l\u2019Occident n\u2019\u00e9crivent plus seulement un dialogue : ils s\u2019offrent un r\u00e9cit vivant, un po\u00e8me \u00e9pique en l\u2019honneur de la rencontre de leurs passions les plus cr\u00e9atives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Le Livre des Reines, an original creation by French Persian-language classical singer Camille Bordet, brings together works by women from Persia and Europe, spanning past and present. Poets, composers, heroines, mystics, and thinkers\u2014 their words transcend centuries to speak to our time. Through her unconventional artistic journey, the French artist brings these voices to life as living presences that continue to challenge our understanding of love, memory, freedom, and transmission, reminding us that forgotten stories still inhabit the world, waiting simply to be heard.
The evening opens like stepping into an Eden, with Le Jardin des Roses, a creation by Montr\u00e9al-based artists Juulie Rousseau and Saeed Kamjoo. From the verses of Saadi, Rumi, and Hafez to the pages of The Little Prince and the works of Charles Baudelaire, the rose emerges as an invisible thread connecting worlds. A flower symbolizing both beauty and loss, it reveals the intensity of love, the wounds of separation, and the transformations of the human spirit.
This double bill reveals the profound connections between traditions that history has too often kept apart. Persian texts enter into dialogue with early European repertoires, oral traditions meet contemporary creation, and diverse imaginations intertwine without losing their distinct identities.
Featuring Camille Bordet and Habib Hosseini on vocals, alongside Juulie Rousseau in the opening performance, Saeed Kamjoo on kamancheh, Madeleine Owen on lute and theorbo, Maryam Tazhdeh on tar, Sheila Hannigan on cello, and Hamin Honari on percussion, each artist brings the memory of their instrument, the depth of their tradition, and the sensitivity of their personal journey. Joining them in the opening performance is whirling dervish Shraddha Danielle Blaney, whose circular movements visually embody this quest for the absolute. Together, they create a musical and choreographic universe in which listening becomes the first act of creation and voices intertwine through the intricate paths of difference.
The two creations converge in a grand finale, sharing a moment of communion and generosity with the audience and bringing all eras together in a single space of resonance. In this suspended moment, Persia and the West do more than engage in dialogue: they offer a living narrative, an epic poem celebrating the meeting of their most creative passions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
