The Musiques-Fictions combine a contemporary text, a musical creation, and a collective experience of immersive listening. A collection launched in 2020, a program in which musical creation is in direct contact with literary fiction. Giving full scope to musical writing and full intelligibility to the text: Musiques-Fictions intends to renew the genre of radio fiction, the Hörspiel, by going beyond the simple sonic illustration of the narrative or dialogue, when the image no longer acts as a screen.
Inspired by the West Indian singer Marie Martinez, nicknamed the Black Malibran, the story's narrator is a university professor who is conducting research on this intriguing character. Her work is disturbed by the irruption in her life of a singer who could well have something to do with the singer photographed by Nadar at the time of her glory, but also of her decline. "My music will only be the discreet, fleeting, fragile, revocable setting for this spoken song, the sung word of Jeanne Balibar." (Gérard Pesson)
