| Mélodie, the Mourner (Jérôme Sbranna) |
This took place on June 26th in the
Northern Cemetery of Rennes, and
attracted about 100 visitors. The Lysandore company led a commented walk in the very heart of this outdoor museum, with a lot of music, poetry, emotion and smiles !
Anthanagor, fictitious attendant, welcomed and shared with many curious
visitors amazing stories about few unknown people who lie in the Northern
Cemetery. In front of an amused audience, he told stories about the twin
sisters’trap, the unfortunate Pierre who
was killed twice coincidentally, Antoine and his two left feet, Jeannine
Lesper, the whisperer grave, and also the phantom burial that moves
enigmatically... Walking through the paths, visitors enjoyed contemplating and
listening the beautiful mourner, with her mysterious music and her « ball
contact » performance, under the
wondering eyes, in a pure lyrical moment.
This
timeless and funny walk ended with the following message: the dead have left
their lives’ mark in the cemeteries, making them unique places. This walk was an opportunity to remember and
never forget that graves are much more places dedicated to life than death.
