DIVA TECHNO BRICOLÉE

A talkative, irreverent, and music-loving creature, LA TÊTE appeared one day unexpectedly in the life of the company, immediately demanding that Kim Giani — a prolific songwriter — write custom songs for a recital that reflects her image: unclassifiable. On stage, she is accompanied by her faithful choristers — nine giant mouths, as noisy as they are exuberant — and Cécé, her stage manager, who strives to keep up with the frantic pace of this third-type musical group.

Music

Kim Giani is a prolific French singer-songwriter — around fifty solo albums since 1994, collaborations with Olivia Ruiz, Yuksek, Cléa Vincent, or Mathias Malzieu. The brain behind Les Clopes, a cult band of parodic dark wave, whose hit "I smoke cigarettes in a black blockhouse because I am depressed" has become an anthem for an entire generation, or other quirky characters like Jean-Pierre Fromage or Béton Plastic. When he writes for LA TÊTE, he brings his entire universe: offbeat, unexpected, musically astonishing.

C’est tout l’inverse qui s’est produit et raisonner ainsi, c’était aussi méconnaître le talent d’une équipe qui a déjà livré de très intéressantes créations. Comme dans Block (2018) ou Track (2021), le jeu tout en finesse de Céline Garnavault côtoie une technologie bricolée qui sait préserver toute l’humanité du propos.
