Birds on a Wire

Since 2012, singer Rosemary Standley and cellist Dom La Nena have collaborated in Birds on a Wire, reimagining songs from rock, Baroque and Brazilian repertoires. Staged by Étienne Saglio, the duo weaves delicate vocal lines and cello textures into spare, folk-baroque arrangements that highlight emotional fragility and elegiac intimacy. Their repertoire — from Tom Waits and Bob Dylan to Barbara and Jacques Brel — is transformed into a dreamy, restrained soundscape where silence and resonance shape a haunting, poetic journey.
