French author Olivier Cadiot discusses the intricate relationship between music and literature. The occasion is Cadiot’s latest work, Pour Mahler, a lengthy, rhapsodic tribute to the renowned composer.
Cadiot drew inspiration for his text from Mahler’s masterpiece Das Lied von der Erde [The Song of the Earth], which was composed during a period of profound loss. Cadiot substituted the original texts for a mosaic of his own translations of the psalms and fragments of Mallarmé’s poetry.
Olivier Cadiot is an influential figure in contemporary French literature, known for his experimental and innovative style. In addition to writing, he is also active in theatre and has collaborated with various artists and musicians on multidisciplinary projects.
