November 27 & 28
For the time being, we are forced apart, a long way from one another’s land, islands, countries, and utopias. Though we cannot bridge that gap, though we cannot fake the tangible presence of things and beings, we can still send out signs. Cross through the waves. Make shapes appear and songs be heard.
The Bridge, with two among its dearest partners on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean, is organizing two mirroring evenings of concerts, one from Chicago and Constellation on November 27th, the other from Pantin and La Dynamo on November 28.
The Bridge : Separatist Party
November 27 – Constellation – Chicago
Marvin Tate – voice
Ben Lamar Gay – cornet
Mike Reed – drums, electronics
Nolan Chin – piano, keyboards
Jakob Heineman – double bass
The Bridge invited Mike Reed a to form a team of Chicago improvisers, to celebrate all the French-American exchanges that have been developed since 2013.
Concert at 8pm (Chicago time) – 15$
Livestream & broadcast on Constellation’s website
The Bridge : Les amis américains
November 28 – La Dynamo de Banlieues Bleues – Pantin
Claudia Solal – vocals
Benoit Delbecq – piano
Bernard Santacruz – double bass
Mike Ladd – vocals
Mathieu Sourisseau – guitar
Therefore, reuniting them on the same night, welcoming Delbecq’ and Solal’s veils and unveilings, Léandre’ and Santacruz’s ploughing and whirling, and Ladd’ and Sourisseau’s spoken-sung-played open fire, is not only paying tribute to their spirit of continuity, but also calling out to those who are not there, to the American friends, who are right now on the other side of world. In the hand of a world to reinvent.
Concert streamed live by La Huit – stay tuned for the streaming link
Will be the basis for a documentary to come at a later date
