\"\"<\/a> Le concert de V\u00e9ronique Pestel dimanche 5 octobre dans notre salle \u00e0 manger a \u00e9t\u00e9 magnifique.
\nV\u00e9ronique Pestel\u2019s concert Sunday, October 5 in our dining room was wonderful.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>J\u2019\u00e9tais d\u00e9j\u00e0 all\u00e9e l\u2019\u00e9couter en janvier, quand V\u00e9ronique lisait encore les textes d\u2019auteurs. Plus besoin maintenant, elle a tout m\u00e9moris\u00e9. Pas de post-it, pas de pense(pas)b\u00eate, V\u00e9ronique est seule sur sc\u00e8ne et navigue du piano \u00e0 la guitare, d\u2019un texte \u00e0 un chant, d\u2019un chant \u00e0 un texte, sans h\u00e9siter un seul instant. Babeth est \u00e0 la technique\u00a0: c\u2019est forc\u00e9ment limit\u00e9 dans une salle qui n\u2019est pas con\u00e7ue pour des spectacles, pourtant j\u2019appr\u00e9cie que la lumi\u00e8re puisse \u00eatre coup\u00e9e d\u2019un coup ou au contraire diminuer lentement en fonction des besoins. Pas d\u2019effets grandioses, le spectacle est d\u2019une si grande qualit\u00e9 qu\u2019ils ne sont pas n\u00e9cessaires.
\nI had been listening her in January, when V\u00e9ronique was still reading the texts of authors. No need now, she memorized them all. No paper, no checklist, V\u00e9ronique is alone on stage and comes from the piano to the guitar, from a text to a song, from a song to a text, without hesitating. Babeth is technician: it is limited in a room that is not designed for shows, but I appreciate when the light is turned off at once, or on the contrary decrease slowly as needed. No grand effects, the show is such a high quality that they are not necessary.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Ce spectacle, \u201cparoles de sages, femmes de parole\u201d, fait alterner des textes d\u2019auteures et des chansons de V\u00e9ronique. Je ne me rappelais plus pourquoi je l\u2019avais tant aim\u00e9 au mois de janvier, tout me revient \u00e0 mesure. Les paroles de cette femme juive \u00e0 Amsterdam, en pleine d\u00e9portation, le d\u00e9bat sur le bien et le mal, le fait que les humains n\u2019ont plus de r\u00f4le \u00e0 jouer sur la plan\u00e8te, voil\u00e0 comment va le monde aujourd\u2019hui – l\u2019ambiance s\u2019alourdit quelque peu. Le public ressentira la gravit\u00e9 des th\u00e8mes abord\u00e9s – ou plut\u00f4t d\u2019un th\u00e8me unique abord\u00e9 par des angles tr\u00e8s divers. Un ami a trouv\u00e9 l\u00e0 comme un \u00e9tat des lieux de la plan\u00e8te. Pour ma part, j\u2019appr\u00e9cie la gravit\u00e9, j\u2019appr\u00e9cie les sujets s\u00e9rieux abord\u00e9s de cette fa\u00e7on. Ma sensibilit\u00e9 ne peut pas faire l\u2019impasse des pr\u00e9occupations de notre \u00e9poque. Et puis l\u2019on passe ce point culminant presque angoissant, les textes et les chansons, toujours aussi s\u00e9rieux, gagnent un peu en l\u00e9g\u00e8ret\u00e9.
\nDuring this show, \u201cparoles de sages, femmes de parole\u201d (\u201c\u00a0\u00bbWords of wise, women speaking\u201d, a joke meaning that you can be in trust with what these women say) there are texts written by women and songs that V\u00e9ronique wrote. I did\u2019nt remember why I loved it so much on January, but I remember as the show is going. The words that this Jewish woman wrote, being at Amsterdam during deportation. Discussing about what is good and what is bad. Humans not having anything to do on the planet, so the world is going – atmosphere becomes a few heavy. The audience feels how serious the topics are – rather: one topic approached from several angles. One of my friends considered the show as an inventory of all what happens on the planet. I do appreciate serious topics. I can\u2019t ignore nowadays preoccupations. Then after something not far from anguish, texts and songs become more light.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>J\u2019ai eu le plaisir de retrouver le texte o\u00f9 Colette reproduit les mots que sa m\u00e8re Sido avait \u00e9crits \u00e0 son gendre pour s\u2019excuser d\u2019avoir \u00e0 refuser une invitation \u00e0 aller voir sa fille.
\nI was pleased to recognize a text when Colette repeats what her mother Sido, wrote to her son in law, apologizing because she refused an invitation to visit her daughter.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Il ne faut pas craindre les mots plein d\u2019enthousiasme pour parler de V\u00e9ronique. Le contact t\u00e9l\u00e9phonique pr\u00e9alable a \u00e9t\u00e9 fort plaisant, elle est tr\u00e8s attentionn\u00e9e et chaleureuse. Nous aurions volontiers prolong\u00e9 le repas dans une salle \u00e0 manger en mutation si l\u2019heure, pour une fois, avait cess\u00e9 de galoper. \u00c9changer sur les nombreux points communs que nous nous sommes trouv\u00e9s \u00e9tait un plaisir \u00e9vident.
\nWe can talk about V\u00e9ronique with enthousiasm. Speaking with her at the phone was nice,\u00a0 she is considerate and her character is hearty. We would have stay more time in the dining-room, eating and speaking, if it had been possible. We spoke about a lot of exciting topics.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Mais pour parler du concert proprement dit, les mots me manquent. On y d\u00e9couvre la g\u00e9n\u00e9rosit\u00e9, la passion de V\u00e9ronique, et aussi son intelligence du monde. Elle fait partie de ces gens aupr\u00e8s desquels on se sent plus riche, des gens qui apportent beaucoup. J\u2019\u00e9cris ces lignes bien trop longtemps apr\u00e8s le concert, pourtant il m\u2019en reste encore des impressions profondes.
\nI don\u2019t have the words to tell the show. We discovered V\u00e9ronique\u2019s generosity and passion, and how she sees the world. With people like her, one feels himself richer, she gives a lot. The show happened such a long time ago, yet I am still affected by deep feelings.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Le monde va mal, il y a peu d\u2019espoir, certes, mais au travers de la musique, on se sent profond\u00e9ment humain, embarqu\u00e9 comme chacun d\u2019entre vous dans le grand navire, vers une destination inconnue bien s\u00fbr. L\u2019important n\u2019est-il pas de transcender nos existences, comme nous y invitent la musique, les textes et les chants\u00a0? M\u00eame si ce n\u2019\u00e9tait pas le th\u00e8me de la soir\u00e9e, c\u2019est cela qu\u2019il m\u2019en reste aujourd\u2019hui…
\nThings go wrong everywhere, there is few hope, but being crossed by the music, we can feel as being deeply human, embarked as everybody on the very big ship, going towards an unknown destination. The most important is to transcend our lives, the music, the texts and the songs invite us to do this. In spite of not being the theme of the concert, this is what remains now in myself …<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Comme disait l\u2019un\u00a0: \u201cfais \u00e9nergiquement ta longue et lourde t\u00e2che\u201d, quant \u00e0 Ursula Leguin elle disait, je cite de m\u00e9moire\u00a0: \u201cL\u2019important n\u2019est pas de prendre mais de donner.\u201d
\nAlfred de Vigny wrote: \u201cdo with energy your long and heavy task\u201d, and Ursula Leguin said that what is important is not to take but to give.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>La qualit\u00e9 de la musique, des paroles, mais aussi leur justesse, leur ad\u00e9quation, le choix de textes fait avec une s\u00fbret\u00e9 extraordinaire, nous ouvrent des portes de beaut\u00e9 pure.
\nThe quality of the music, of the lyrics, how appropriate they are, the excellent choice of texts open for us the doors of Beauty.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Le public a chaudement applaudi cette belle prestation, et le buffet a permis de bavarder de chose et d\u2019autre, avec V\u00e9ronique ou Babeth, et aussi entre amis, entre voisins.
\nThe audience clapped for a long time after the nice performance. Afterwards, we have been happy to eat and chat together.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>V\u00e9ronique, j\u2019ai juste oubli\u00e9 de prendre un exemplaire de la liste des textes que tu as polycopi\u00e9e et propos\u00e9e au public\u00a0: si tu peux me l\u2019envoyer en fichier joint…!
\nV\u00e9ronique, I just forgot to take a copy of the list of texts that you have duplicated and offered to the public: if you can send me it …!<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Modalit\u00e9s pratiques : pour notre sixi\u00e8me spectacle \u00e0 domicile, nous nous sentions rod\u00e9s. Certes, notre proviseur favori n\u2019est provisoirement plus proviseur, et aller sous son \u00e9gide piquer les chaises au lyc\u00e9e n\u2019a pas \u00e9t\u00e9 possible. Mais le d\u00e9m\u00e9nagement rituel s\u2019est d\u00e9roul\u00e9 sans probl\u00e8me, avec d\u2019autres fournisseurs…
\nAbout the organization: it was our sixth home show, we felt comfortable. Our favorite headmaster is temporarily no longer headmaster, we couldn\u2019t borrow the chairs in his high school. But it was very easy to find chairs.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>D\u00e9m\u00e9nager le piano est devenu du grand art\u00a0: un pied de biche confortablement emmaillot\u00e9 dans des bouts de couverture, et hop, le piano est soulev\u00e9. Glisser sous ses roulettes – car il a des roulettes, mais non directionnelles\u00a0! – d\u2019autres tomb\u00e9es de couverture, voil\u00e0 que le lourd instrument peut \u00eatre pouss\u00e9-d\u00e9plac\u00e9 par d\u2019autres personnes que des d\u00e9m\u00e9nageurs. Pas besoin d\u2019\u00eatre costaud, m\u00eame moi j\u2019y arrive.
\nMove the piano became high art: a crowbar is comfortably wrapped into pieces of blanket, and presto, the piano is lifted. Slide under its wheels – because it has wheels, but not directional! – other pieces of blanket, now the heavy instrument can be pushed-moved by anyone. No need to be strong, I can.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Pourquoi ces photos ? - Why those photos?<\/p><\/div>\n

Et puisque l\u2019instrument est un peu trop sonore, on glisse une petite cale triangulaire (inutile ainsi de prendre des mesures pr\u00e9cises) sur la p\u00e9dale douce et la voil\u00e0 bloqu\u00e9e.
\nAnd since the instrument is too sound, slip a small triangular wedge (useless to take specific measures) on the soft pedal and it\u2019s blocked.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

\u00c0 cause d'une belle balade avec Paul quelques jours plus tard...<\/p><\/div>\n

Il reste des am\u00e9liorations \u00e0 apporter\u00a0: j\u2019en vois une, consistant \u00e0 veiller \u00e0 ce que l\u2019artiste ait \u00e0 manger aussi bien que les autres. En effet, on a tellement envie d\u2019accaparer V\u00e9ronique, et elle sait se rendre si gentiment disponible, que le buffet lui passe un peu sous le nez. La prochaine fois, il faudra que j\u2019y veille.
\nNext time I will make sure that the artist can eat: we were so happy to speak with V\u00e9ronique that we did\u2019nt let her have much!<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Because of a nice walk with Paul few days later ...<\/p><\/div>\n

Le buffet \u00e9tait fourni par le public, invit\u00e9 aussi \u00e0 ne pas oublier le chapeau…
\nThe food was provided by the public, also asked not to forget the hat …
\n<\/strong>Nous avons fait le tour du grand Thur au-dessus d’Izieu.
\nWe walked around \u00ab\u00a0le grand Thur\u00a0\u00bb over Izieu.<\/em>
