French song at the crossroads of Mediterranean music
L’Ivre is a hymn to life. Nature, this supreme source of life, is ubiquitous in its abundance and fertility. The earth is bursting with its fruits and bodies with love. Human beings are connected to forces that transcend them and share this plenitude with one another. If one can see in L’Ivre an aspiration for absoluteness, it lies in the organic intensity; if there is an aspiration for the sacred, it lies in the poetic desire to embody words, to unravel the real while it is being named and savoured.
