Pont des Arts Ensemble

About Me

..“A sensual banquet of poetry & music, passion & spirituality,” PONT DES ARTS ENSEMBLE is the finest example of the global renaissance of the marriage of poetry and new performance media. Poetry married to music, theatre and dance is more ancient than recorded history and the freshest movement in contemporary performance worldwide. ““A sensual banquet of poetry & music, passion & spirituality. Shakespeare meets Sigur Ros meets Piaf along the Mediterranean. . . . Viva la evolution! ” (George Whitman, Shakespeare & Co., Paris) * * * * *..* * * * * Le Pont des Arts is a foot bridge which crosses the Seine, a “suspended garden” designed during the reign of Napoleon to lead into the Palais des Arts, the Louvre. An eighteen year old student of French poetry began his vocation here with an acoustic guitar. His pockets may have been occasionally empty but Fammerée (a director and founder of Pont des Arts Ensemble) was brimming as he meditated on the river, its hieroglyphic reflections and warm, sculpted banks where troubadours in previous centuries experimented and performed in the same forms. .. .. ..

Sounds Like: NOTRE DAME * * * * * Our Mother who art in everyone, everything is thy name. Thy garden serene, thy waters green the earth as they blue the heavens. Thank you for our daily bread and the blessing that no one can be satisfied until everyone is fed. Forgive our ignorance as we forgive those who ignore you in each of us. Lead us from fear and deliver us from anger and anxieties, for life is a ripening to return to you, to feed you, to seed you, to be reborn forever and ever Again [© 2000 Fammerée]
