Voir, Ensemble, Maintenant : These three cantatas come together first of all through the evocation of nature, which is an essential theme in Guillevic’s work, with a characteristic way of identifying with flowers, rocks, or even with blackbirds or butterflies, which is both troubling and marvellous. As if to find an original fusion with the world, without it being a question of forgetting oneself.
