Elisa Vellia | Les 2 MersA musical travel from Greece to Brittany. Elisa Vellia invites Annie Ebrel and the Penn ar Bed choirs. CrEation AT Festival de CornouailleOn WED. 22 juLY 2009 Quimper / Espace Gradlon 9pm![]() « les 2 Mers » brings us in the heart of the new album "Ahnaria", footprints in greek. This journey began before I was born and will continue after I'm gone. The footsteps are those of a woman who crosses the centuries in silence. I feel the dust of her long trek flow in my veins. I follow her. I left my homeland by choice, in quest of a dream. But between my birth land and the land of my livelihood, I sometimes have the feeling of being suspendeed, and that my new roots remain superficial, for fear of cutting off forever behind me the road of return.
"Deep in my womb salt water nestles. The waves beckon me to an unknown fate. My gaze too is governed by the sea..."
This show « Les 2 mers », is also the story of a meeting with the Breton singer Annie Ebrel, who also composed an album named "Roudennou" imprints in Breton. Each one in her language, they sing the soul of their lands.
It exists similarities between Brittany and Greece. Landscapes rich in beauty in the magnificent lights, the country of sailors and big travelers with the glances turned to the wide. The Breton as the Greek soul developped through music, poetry and dance. Both emotional, the one is silent, the other is more talkative. Web site: www.elisa-vellia.com
