Colomiers. With Les Furtifs, enter the color, Tuesday on the stage of Estive

In his novel, Les furtifs, published in 2019, Alain Damasio presented a France where surveillance is total. We are in 2040. The world has changed. Everyone wears a ring, in which is all their personal data. The GAFA won. In this world which, today, does not seem so distant to us, the “Stealth” are free electrons who manage to escape this controlled society and create ZAGs, self-governed zones. We share the fates of Lorca Varèse, sociologist, and of his wife, Sahar, proferrer for the children that the national education has abandoned. Both saw their lives turn upside down when their only four-year-old daughter, Tishka, vanished. Through their quest, the reader gradually discovers these extraordinary animals that are the furtive, whose life is fully connected to the senses, an immense power of life and which exceeds humans.

This overwhelming and extremely sensory work of science fiction, with resounding success, naturally led its author to create, with the musician Yan Péchin, a rock-fiction concert. A hybrid artistic object like the characters of Alain Damasio.

“The living […] it’s a song that crosses us “

Yan Péchin, guitarist of Alain Bashung, Brigitte Fontaine or Rachid Taha, offers, through this electric and poetic composition, an original soundtrack to the novel. Its title, Entering Color, says how synesthesia is at the heart of this four-handed creation, which explores the living in a volcanic encounter where languages ​​rub shoulders, look at each other and, lava in fusion, explode into words and notes. .

“The living […] it’s a song that runs through us in which we are immersed, melted or electrified “says the author, against a background of a tense, disturbing electric guitar, giving the impression of hearing the surveillance drones flying above our heads . We are in the world of the furtive. Better still, we are the furtive. folk, punk and rock, also offers an abundant score, we immerse ourselves in a sensory universe as strange as it is fascinating. Words are so many stories, slams, manifestos that call us to reflect, to think society, to open your eyes fully, in a language that gives pride of place to poetry, a language full of sounds and music.The interstices between the voice and the instruments are so many spaces where the furtive seem to slip.
