Final
A long harmonic perspective or the interruption of an untimely gesture? This tension between continuous and discontinuous, which inhabits the music of Philippe Leroux, can be found throughout the final night of ManiFeste, entrusted to the Meitar ensemble from Israel. In Leroux's creation, an initial point of "temporal density and thickness particularly elevated" distances itself little by little while persistently slowing down. In the final gesture of his Voi(REX), the soloist's voice transforms into that of the poet and composer through electronics. A continual morphing, an altering of identities between creator and performer, between he who sketches a movement in space, he who annotates the score or the poem and he who listens to it. A final word: "However, work continues towards the unachieved".
