GILDAA: between musical trance and the quest for memory at the Théâtre du Rond-Point

A blend of theater, music and poetry, GILDAA invites us to delve into the fragmented memory of a woman in search of herself. The show will be performed at the Théâtre du Rond-Point on May 14, 15 and 16, 2025 at 8pm.

Led by Camille Constantin Da Silva, GILDAA blends French chanson and Brazilian soul in an intimate, dreamlike universe. Presented at the Théâtre du Rond-Point from Wednesday May 14 to Friday May 16, 2025, this one-woman show will navigate between poetic introspection, offbeat humor and stage ritual.

GILDAA would tell the fragmented story of a woman in search of memory. The set, shifting and uncertain, would blend theater dressing room, kitchen, bedroom and psychic interiority. Between disjointed thoughts and fragmented speech, Gildaa would reveal herself through contrasting images: mythical clown, fallen diva, child on fire. She sings of her pain and flashes of inspiration to rhythms ranging from French chanson to Brazilian soul, accompanied by unexpected instruments - water drum, violin, guitar, typewriter. The narrative, almost incantatory, would move forward in an atmosphere at once mystical and absurd, inviting the audience to plunge into the psyche of a broken woman seeking rebirth.

GILDAA would appeal primarily to audiences interested in hybrid forms and unidentified scenic objects, where text, music and physical performance merge into an indissociable whole. Fans of narrative theater or classical comedy might find themselves at a loss, as GILDAA would be happy to play with breaks in tone and codes of nonsense. One might be reminded of Pina Bausch 's performances or Phia Ménard's universe, as the mix of genres and emotions seems to be taken for granted.
