Alone on stage, the producer, composer, and multi-instrumentalist Khalil Epi electrifies images filmed in Tunisia and makes the music dance in an immersive performance sweetly titled Aïchoucha: a personal tribute to his grandmother Aïcha, who used to sing him Sfaxian lullabies when he was a child. Here, accompanied by his machines and synthesizer and facing three panoramic screens, the artist draws inspiration from the technique of “ultra-score” invented by composer Christophe Chassol, combining live music and images from different regions of Tunisia in total synergy. He embroiders his own score, enriches and amplifies the repertoire, and offers a wonderful resonance to the chants of the Awamriya brotherhood, from the Tbal of Kerkennah to the Sahli of Tataouine. This is a new artistic experience for Khalil Epi, who for over a decade has been giving multi-facetted performances at the crossroads of electro-pop, jazz, rock, classical and folk music from all over the world. It's also a hypnotic journey for the audience, immersed in the myriad human and audio-visual landscapes of Tunisia past and present.
