Notes sur cette pièce

Tesbih 17, for bass clarinet, as quasi-concert version, from the chamber-pantomim-ballet based on the poetry collection ”The Tale of Fatumeh” by the Swedish poet Gunnar Ekelöf (1907-1968).

It is the tale of Fatumeh, a girl sold into prostitution by her mother, then for a while kept as a concubine by a prince, abondened but surviving by force of spirit. Although the story is conventionally tragic, the vitality of Fatumeh brings a completely new dimension to the story.

The collection of poems are devided into two parts; the first naming the poems Naẓm 1-29, the second Tesbīḥ 1-29.

Your head breathes heavily, slowly, Fatumeh

it swells and contracts

as if it felt the burden of

its own weight on the pillow –

of the long threads of the thoughts

of the fringes of the thoughts

Your spring was blue, with a sprinkling of red

Red your summer was

Blood red now in autumn

You are like the jellyfish, blooming

before its end with long threads

Your head tries to breathe

where you lie where the waves hit the sand

with scarcely enough water

to move up or down

There is no depth anymore

and no hope – or is there still?

Yes, to sink into one’s own depth of jelly

when the sea pulls back

and you lie left on the sand

and shrivel

Turn to stone.

Bass clarinet
