Album Description

XXY [ɛks/ɛks/wʌɪ] is the result of Clotilde’s reflections on the feminine, taking a holistic approach and using multiple media, including music, dance, and images. It takes the form of seven portraits, involving seven films and seven original soundtracks, which combine to form a feminine archetype. Entitled Rhéa, Ruby, Juliette, Ishtar, Magda, Hannah, and Enk'aï, they embody in turn the child, the working woman, the mother, the artist, and the warrior woman, all heroines, both famous and anonymous. Short texts by Maya Angelou, James Joyce, Gloria Steinem, and Paul Auster echo behind the androgynous bodies of the dancers (France, United States, China) seeking harmony between their masculine and their feminine halves, as they progress through landscapes stretching out in all their beauty, whether horizontally (Iceland) or vertically (the American city). There are no songs, but murmurs and chants, cries and laughter, over resonating trumpet, oud, piano, brass, and didgeridoo. Clotilde adopts a universal language, opting for the neutrality of bodies, the impressionism of contexts, and the emotional over the analytical.
