Ritournelle is at first a musical concept close to the idea of refrain. It refers to a repetitive phrase that grows gradually, resulting in new dimensions. Ritournelles are often found in children’s songs, advertisements or political slogans in demonstrations, among others. Its principles avoid traditional storytelling and emphasize on action. I adapt the concept of Ritournelle to compose solo performances and collaborations with Till Baumann investigating the specific dimension of voice and orality in the building of live images.
