Charlemagne Palestine Heritage Performance
Heritage Performance
Since the 1970s, the multi-media artist, composer-performer, soloist and vocalist Charlemagne Palestine (born Charles Martin in 1947 in Brooklyn, New York) offers intense and ritualistic creations, Contrary to assumptions about the supposed beauty and meaning of music.
As part of the Heritage Days at FRAC Alsace, Charlemagne Palestine invites us to dive into its sound and visual universe. More than a performance, it is a real ceremony that the artist offers us, accompanied by his divine plushes and schmattes* that will fill the space.
*schmattes: a Yiddish term that refers to a rag, a worn garment that must be taken back, or an individual’s state of fatigue.
All public, families and children welcome!
