How will Saint-P sound like if we collect all the speech diversity from small-talks in the underground to podcasts? French team "Encyclopédie de la parole" created a play specifically for Saint-P. You will be the first to hear how and what the citizens truly talk about.

The Jukebox is a theatrical counterpart of a music machine from the 1960s. For each geographical space (a city, a region, or an entire country) authors conduct a specific research recording the most diverse speech variations of local residents. These documentary records are processed and become the basis for the future score of the performance.
Each show is different from the previous one: the audience chooses which tracks and in what order the actor will play. "Jukebox" invites residents to hear all the diversity of the language, its rhythms and punctuation, the individual characteristics of the speaker - from hoarseness to stuttering.
"Jukebox" shows the audience the uniqueness of everyday situations focusing on the sound landscape. It is important for the authors to understand how each particular city sounds like through the voices of its residents: how we formulate our thoughts out loud, who we address our speech to, in what key we speak on certain topics.
The French theater team "Encyclopedia of Words" are researchers in the field of art. Since 2007, they have collected more than a thousand audio recordings from all around the world.
These documentary tracks can be heard at any time on the company's website.
