Caroline Bergvall works between writing and sound art. An international artist with multiple cultural roots, she has, not surprisingly, developed a hybrid and personal art of language. Her words, syntax and phrasing are often multilingual, sometimes dislocated and always singular.
For the Printemps de septembre she has devised a group piece based on a solo presented in 2014. This project explores the musicality and the rhythmic aspects of breathing. Aided by an amateur choir from Toulouse, she creates a sound piece that is at once personal and collective, a song of welcome and celebration.
