Alsimi – Ouverture de saison

Alsimi is accepted because the Théâtre Luc Donat page ties the project to musicians from the Réunion and Indian Ocean scene: Marie Lanfroy of Saodaj’, Carlo de Sacco of Grèn Sémé and Bajoun, formerly of Mouvman Alé. The official text describes voices, percussion and electronic music transforming traditional rhythms into a new repertoire. That makes the opening night more than a venue launch: it is a meeting of locally identified artists and contemporary approaches to rhythm, voice and island-rooted musical experimentation.
