Melodic & Poetic Memory
In 2023, while researching medieval music, Kevin Malfait discovered an Occitan song, La marca de la pièra, whose poetic text diverged from typical medieval themes. The damaged manuscript’s melody was reconstructed using a similar 18th-century piece by Guillon. Inspired, Malfait collaborated with dancer Charles Pietri, who recognized the story from Corsican family traditions. Together, they created a performance exploring the connections between Occitan and Corsican cultural memory.
