Leïla Martial & Elie Dufour "Karma Bazar" – Opéra Nouvel de Lyon, Lyon

About this event

Opera de Lyon presents Karma Bazar as a concert in the Opera Underground program. The official listing frames it around Leïla Martial and Elie Dufour as improvisers from the jazz scene and describes it as a "concert augmenté" involving voice, piano, organetto and transformed sound. The production moves between traditional piano and voice, techno dance-floor trance, songs accompanied by organetto, lyrical passages, church-organ sonorities, gypsy harmonies, and references extending from Bach toward contemporary music. Writing and improvisation are both identified as central methods. The performance setup credits Leïla Martial with voice, bottles and bidules; Elie Dufour with piano, Philicorda and organetto; and Arthur Ower with sound. NN is credited with lighting creation. External production material describes the sound as electro-acoustic and credits Compagnie La Barde and Full Rhizome for production, with co-production credits including Opéra national de Lyon - Opéra Underground.
