Diva Divine Singing wandering on stilts

DIVA DIVINE

A singer on stilts

Imagine, meeting a lyric singer high on stilts, not too high, at (almost) human size, just enough to wake your imagination up, enlighten the colours of life and travel through the musical time of a song.

During the Festival in Avignon and the wandering through the streets, a character was born: the singer on stilts with a crinoline dress.

It’s the resonance of the musical show C’est toujours ça de pris ! for the street and the walkers.

Vanessa Hidden met Alain Ferret in the streets of Avignon.

A beautiful wandering at human size, light as a feather and flamboyant to illuminate the streets.

This will be the new Diva Divine with the complicity of the stylist Jef Castaing.

Sketch and styling by Jef Castaing / Fanchette et Papillon.

The repertoire is sparkling, rich and diverse: french melody, operetta, chanson réaliste, and Belle Époque. The composer are honored Offenbach, Satie, Poulenc, Fauré, Messager, Bourtayre, Weill, Hayn, Straus, Kosma, Yvain and hints for Yvette Guilbert, Yvonne Printemps and Marie Dubas.

Feminine and cheeky wandering Co. Transe Express

The Periwinkles

Of the Company Transe Express

Songs, polyphonies of whistles and drum rhythms feed the attraction for uniforms, humour and poetry.
A tribal pheromonal know-how allows these asphalt amazons to get organised without any hierarchy, to adapt the rules of the game to the present time.

Les Pervenches, The Periwinkles

With the energy of a battalion of warriors armed with sticks and the sensitivity of a band of poetesses with vocal cords, seven women play a jubilant groove and the revenge of the girls, just for fun. Their tools are singing, seven whitles with two notes, seven drums, humour and poetry.
Their preferred theme are elegance among social relation, and human relationships, the game of gender differences, freedom of opinion and of look. They go out in squadron to keep an eye, make the bodies move, and to make passions flare.Songs, polyphonies of whistles and drum rhythms feed the attraction for uniforms, humour and poetry.

DNA Vertical Odyssey The Transe Express Company

DNA Vertical Odyssey

Of the Transe Express Company

2025 Musical creation

For this new creation, Vanessa Hidden is on the vocal composition with a team of high-level creative artists.

Let’s imagine the progressive deployment, from the ground, of an inhabited structure 40 meters high, like a dizzying link to the sky. It is a question, not of an aerial mobile which evolves above the public, but of a mobile architecture refined in its aesthetic and offering its intrinsic vertical perspective.

The imagination of an excessive verticality is nourished by myths and universal legends which transcribe the great upheavals in the history of humanity, the need for evolution or the desire for elevation: the Tower of Babel, Jacob’s ladder, Noah’s Ark and other monumental constructions.Take height, reaching the summit, flying, no longer touching the ground, building ever higher, this is a human concern that takes us between poetry and philosophy. DNA is this journey where humans are measured by vertigo.
