This Thursday March 4 at noon, the world of culture is called to mobilize, Place de la République in Orléans. Anita Farmine will be there. The Orleans singer explains that “Morally, it’s okay, but professionally it’s time for things to pick up. We’re a little dying, there”.
This Wednesday at the end of the health defense council, she heard like the others the government announcing that it was working on scenarios for the reopening of cultural places, without really giving a date, but we are talking about the end of April: “Personally, I am very suspicious of these announcements, but I want to stay positive. Today we just want to make people understand that we are afraid of the death of culture, quite simply”.
A LiveOnline festival with artists on stage
Despite everything, we still have to imagine solutions, to make artists and technicians, intermittents, to pay them a voice. This is the objective of the LiveOnline festival imagined by Anita Farmine and other artists, and organized by Palapapaï Prod.
With the support from the town hall of Orléans and the Bains Douches in Lignères in the Berry, live concerts on the stage of the Institute in Orléans are broadcast online on March 3 and 4. “Yesterday evening it was wonderful” raconte Anita Farmine. “Musically, artistically … But it’s also an important moment, it allowed these artists to present their work on stage, which they haven’t been able to do for a year. With all the questions that this poses behind, will there be other albums, will the record companies follow, etc? “
Concerts at the Maison de France Bleu Orléans
The singer from Orleans also participates in the initiative of France Bleu Orléans, “the concerts at home”. Four concerts recorded with residents of Loiret, and broadcast on the antenna of France Bleu from March 8. Anita Farmine gave hers to Olivet: “It was a pleasure to find an audience in front of you, as small as it is. And then applause, that’s what gives energy to the artist”.
And this support role played by France Bleu Orléans is important according to her : “But the theaters, too, and the communities that give the grants. In fact what we have been doing as artists should have been put in place a long time ago by the people in the field. They fear that doing this kind of exercise, it will cause the death of the rooms, but me I do not believe it for a second. As soon as it reopens everyone will rush there “.
