production ATC Productions | Judith Magre offers her deep, warm, sensual, and mysterious voice and her feline body to a collection of women whose lives were not at all easy. As small portraits vaguely hinted, these stories narrate and recall the difficulty of loving and being loved. "I met Judith Magre for the first time in a brasserie and immediately her glance, the sound of her voice, her enchanting intelligence, her funny and witty ways amazed me. Right away I felt the urge to write something for her, listen to her voice, as special as an opera singer´s. I dreamt, imagined, built a mosaic of stories and games all around her.
Histoire d’hommes is about women who talk about men, a combination of stories, feelings, petit chansons. It talks about love in all its shades. And when love vanishes, what´s left is a vast void of solitude throughout which Magre wanders, among the memories of stories that are now flakes, fragments. And men appear and disappear, as real ghosts."
