cleave festival 2021
Lift the cold glass to the lips with condensation
dripping,
Take a sip,
Bittersweet taste,
As the liquid bubbles rise into thoughts…
Deconstruction of Lemonade brings together a trio of musicians transfixed by a seemingly mundane object. Out to prove that a song can be written about anything, this is the liminal space of obsession, a journey through consciousness and memory, a gig, a live soundtrack, the first glass of lemonade you ever tasted.
PARLEZ

George Wood Theatre
45 minutes
Parlez is formed of Mathieu Chazallet (guitar/vocals), Michal Drozd (drums) and Grace Strickland de Souza (keys/vocals).
Grace is frontwoman of alt-pop band KIN and releases experimental electro-pop under the guise, GracieSouz. Her music has had support from BBC 6 Music and BBC Introducing. She is co-founder of theatre collective, Klein Blue.
Michal has worked with bands such as Portico Quartet and Bonobo. As a session musician, he has played hundreds of shows around the UK/Europe. He is interested in mixing old-school scenography with modern technology to create powerful and interesting sets.
Mathieu studied BA Theatre and Performance before re-establishing his interest in music. He looks to express the effects fluctuations of the outside world has on the voice; through singing, these feelings can be sublimed.
