A musical suite sung by Ingrid Caven in her husky voice from the creaking waggon factories of Saarbrucken. Song and film, between illness and melody. Phoenix always rising from its ashes, wild and sophisticated.
Ingrid Caven wrote the lyrics and composed the melodies, in which we sometimes hear hints of tunes that have inhabited her life (Snow White, Bach, Lili Marlène, Lorelei...).
Three of the texts are by Jean-Jacques Schuhl.

The filmmaker behind the project, Albert Serra, and his group of Spanish musicians, Les Molforts, are responsible for the experimental electro-orchestration and staging of a show scheduled for February 22, 2025 at the Théâtre des Bouffes du Nord, which will also be made into a film.
