Histoires de Pierres est une déambulation et installation sonore à la croisée de la pièce sonore poétique, du cabinet de minéralogie et de l’archéologie imaginaire. Une invitation à se balader dans les rues et à découvrir le village de Fitou, pour écouter le chant des pierres et son paysage rocailleux, au son du vent et des récits intimes des habitants. Ils ont tous leur propre rapport à la pierre : celle qui fait la qualité incontestable du vin, celle du mur de leur maison, celle qu’ils charrient chaque vendredi pour restaurer des abris dans la garrigue, celle qu’ils ont ramassée lors d’une balade et qu’ils ont gardée presque machinalement, qui trône maintenant sur un coin de la cheminée. Les pierres qui sembleraient banales deviennent précieuses, ce sont des trésors anciens dont les habitants sont les gardiens. Chaque histoire est singulière et les récits associés esquissent l’histoire d’une communauté. Une invitation à découvrir le village sous une autre oreille. Balade sonore Rendez-vous : samedi 15 et
