As part of Julie’s last year of residency in La Ménagerie de Verre, manager Marie-Thérèse Allier asked Julie Nioche to participate in her festival “Les Inaccoutumés”. She suggested a duo to Sir Alice, a piece somewhere between a performance and a concert, in collaboration with Laure Couturier as a light designer.

In a garage in 2007 she and I have nothing but each other, our know-hows, our sensitivities and our sorrows...

What’s the outcome?

I wanted to confront the risk of simply dancing, incarnating her voice.
She simply wanted to take the risk of singing with just a guitar, being influenced by my presence.

There’s something visceral in this voice as if it was telling a story, her story. Our story.
There’s something scary about the display of my dancing body, as if that was all I had left to be present.

With our defending bodies, unpretentiously, we threw ourselves into the audience’s jaws.
