Description
Romantic passion and the complexity of emotion are at the heart of this work, inspired by a text of the same name by Paul Éluard, a French poet associated with Surrealism (L’Amour la poésie, 1929). Born from these words, the musical work explores the suffering that can sometimes intertwine with love. This intensity takes hold from the very first theme, evoking the tension that arises when another person becomes deeply present within oneself. This inner presence, almost overwhelming, unfolds between the voice and the piano. The work seeks to bring this particular, intimate, and rarely explored nuance of love into resonance with each person’s universal experience.
Lyrics
Rouge amoureuse
Pour prendre part à ton plaisir
Je me colore de douleur.
J’ai vécu tu fermes les yeux.
Tu t’enfermes en moi.
Accepte donc de vivre.
Tout ce qui se répète est incompréhensible.
Tu nais dans un miroir.
Devant mon ancienne image.
