Berceurs du temps - Compagnie de création artistique

NEWS for fall 2024

> Following the example of our chairs in residency at the Chambly library and the Maisonneuve library, we are happy to announce the arrival of two new singing chairs families spending the winter at the Saint-Amable library (starting November 14th) and the Sainte-Martine library (starting December 7th). A perfect way to keep warm and enchant the South Shore until March 2025!

> After Contes à dormir debout, we continue our collaboration with the Festilou Festival for Petites sagesses [Little Wisdoms], a series of 20 podcasts for kids from 4 to 8 years old. Co-hosted by Sylvette the owl and guest children, each episode features a storyteller from Quebec or French-speaking Ontario. To be discovered on OHdio Radio-Canada as of today!

> Mamie Remix is back this autumn, uniting the voices of teenagers from École internationale de Montréal (in partnership with the CJE Montréal Centre-Ville) to the poems of senior residents from CHSLD Paul-Émile-Léger, accompanied by mediator Cara Roy and mentor-artist Meryem Saci, as part of the New Horizons for Seniors program. A second cohort will take on the tender rap adventure next February. Stay tuned!

> Bercer le temps / Lulling Time has come a long way in 2024! After crossing the Atlantic to take part in the International Spoken Word festival Ahoz Aho in the Basque Country (with the support of the Ministère de la Culture et des Communications), our rocking chairs hit the road again for a second grand summer tour in New Brunswick and Gaspésie (with the support of the Canada Council for the Arts), with stops in Lévis, Blainville, Richmond, Verchères, Chambly, and in Montreal parks with the Festilou Festival. They are now preparing their next winter outings as part of the Parcours berçant du P'tit Beaubien in the local shops on Beaubien street. Check the news on our Facebook page for the exact locations, dates and times.

> Berceurs are looking for new teammates to help carry our evergrowing and stimulating projects. Would you like to work on web programming of our new online platform gathering all of the company's singing archives? Do you know someone who knows someone? Flexible conditions, competitive salary. To learn more and apply, please refer to the application form at forms.gle/3eeDHN9H18pWGLgP6.

===

At the very beginning of the confinement, Berceurs du temps launched a series of weekly HEBDODOs to appease the minds and put worries to sleep. Each week, from March 25 to May 6, we shared 7 lullabies from our archives at https://berceursdutemps.ca/hebdodos and through SoundCloud's mobile app.

LULLING TIME now features a collection of more than 2500 lullabies in over 100 languages, and it keeps growing. Thank you to the golden voices of those who have sang their love in front of our mics since 2016. Until we meet again in the parks over the summer, feel free to share these bedtime delights around you!

Logos

Out of the cradle endlessly rocking,
I sing a reminiscence,
I sing a future.
(inspired by Walt Whitman)

A gentle immersion into the world of lullabies, LULLING TIME invites to travel aboard a rocking chair. Set up in the heart of the city, the installation welcomes visitors in a suspended time-space outside of the surrounding urban bustle. Feet on the grass, swinging along, everyone can get carried away by the echoes of childhood through songs from all over the world.

A soothing and comforting ritual, a song of love and tenderness, lullabies reassure and guide towards the night. At the threshold of the sleep, they take different shapes, from an ancient melody to a popular song, from nursery rhymes to soft incantations. Lullabies are transmitted in secret and often forgotten. Our collection reveals the treasures of cosmopolitan Montreal gleaned from all over the city, drawing on traditions from Quebec, the first nations, Congo, France, Germany, Iran, Japan, Russia and Venezuela, to name a few.

During the opening hours of the installation, visitors who would like to take part in the collection of lullabies will have the opportunity to do so in a short recording session, sharing a precious intimacy. These songs gain a new life, feeding a living archive and a real collective heritage. Memories become future.

Out of the cradle endlessly rocking,

Creating poetic spaces that reflect community challenges in contemporary society, BERCEURS DU TEMPS mix artistic mediums – dance, theatre, performance, sound and visual arts – around the idea of voice as a relationship vector. Founded in 2016 by choreographer Sarah Dell’Ava and dramaturg Ilya Krouglikov, the company aims to bring art to citizens in an unpredictable and diverted fashion, to revisit our relationship to time and to the beauty of the world. Participatory, intergenerational and inclusive, its projects seek to fulfill the creative potential of each individual in a dynamic of openness to oneself, to others and to the environment. Following BERCER LE TEMPS / LULLING TIME installation, still touring after more than 150 performances over six years, they value sharing, heritage and transmission through co-creation and cultural mediation initiatives with the youth and the elderly.

* * *

Sarah Dell’Ava develops a multidisciplinary approach of the body through dance, visual arts and singing. Her projects explore the question of the origin of the movement, namely in Dans les plis (2012), Oriri (2013) and Orir (2016). Engaging in a dialogue with the community, her research takes shape through residencies, mediation activities and workshops with intergenerational groups.

In 2016 Sarah takes part in initiatives by Emmanuel Jouthe (Écoute pour voir, Et si on dansait) and prepares together with Ilya Krouglikov an installation on lullabies, all of those promoting art to invigorate human bonds. Most recently, she co-founded Espace Oriri, a place dedicated to spontaneous expression for young and old, where creativity connects interiority and relationship.

Ilya Krouglikov has been developing an undisciplined approach to performing arts for more than ten years, with a particular attention to composition and rhythm. Trained as a mathematician, he believes in meaningful and inventive structures open to the urges of the present. As a dramaturg, he accompanies various creative processes in dance, theatre and performance art, namely alongside Sarah Dell'Ava, Eduardo Ruiz Vergara, Aurélie Pedron, Sonia Bustos and Les sœurs Schmutt. An experienced fencer, Ilya carries this body language over to dance. As a performer, he works with choreographers and visual artists Bettina Hoffman and Pé Vermeersch (Belgium). Together with the choreographer Eduardo Ruiz Vergara he creates and performs the duet Eyes of Ceres presented at the MAI (Montreal, arts interculturels, 2014) and at Mains d'Œuvres (Paris, 2015).

Artistic codirector at BERCEURS DU TEMPS and committed creator, he promotes slowness and contemplation through participatory works in public space — such as the sound installation Lulling Time, a living archive of lullabies of the world, touring parks and squares of Greater Montreal since summer 2017. Ilya is involved in several co-creation and cultural mediation projects. In 2021, for instance, he gives the spark to Mamie Remix, an initiative that invites high school students to create tender rap music based on poems chosen by seniors.

Wolfram Sander is a trained carpenter with a degree in applied theatre studies from Giessen University in Germany. After completing his thesis on vocal strategies in contemporary theatre and performance, he works as sound and light designer, performer, director, musician and technical director and dramaturge. In 2008, he assists Heiner Goebbels for a staged concert I went to the house but did not enter featuring the renowed Hilliard Ensemble. Since then, he regularly collaborates with various artists and collectives, namely with Rimini Protokoll, touring throughout Europe, Asia and North America. Wolfram continuously pursues his own artistic creations at the crossroads of sound art, staged concerts, performance and installation which have been presented in Germany, Austria, France, Sweden, Mexico and Canada.

A short-term job as an associate producer with the Ruhrtriennale in 2012 brings him closer to the production field the arts. Between 2013 and 2020, he leads the artistic production team at the international Festival Theaterformen based in Hanover and Brunswick (Germany). More recently Wolfram joins the HELLERAU – European Centre for the Arts in Dresden as programme director in theatre and dance for the 2020-21 season.
