Alexandra Hernandez, l'archipel et l'océan(2023)
"My music derives from the elements of the archipelago."
Alexandra Hernandez is a child of the sea. She sings about Saint-Pierre-et-Miquelon, a small archipelago off the coast of Newfoundland, a French enclave on the American continent. The sea, the wind and the fog ooze through her lyrics, which sing of love in an omnipresent natural setting. She takes us back to the places that populated her childhood imagination, to a small archipelago where everyone knows everyone else, and where the unknown resonates in the wind that beats down on the islands.

In Saint Pierre et Miquelon, a tiny French archipelago in the North Atlantic, a group of teenagers have just graduated from high school. Urged to continue their studies, it's time to leave for mainland France and Canada. Manon, Evie, Enguerrand and their friends are about to spend their last summer on the islands together. In the turmoil that precedes this leap into the void, these budding adults, like previous generations, are confronted with this particular moment in their lives. They'll have to leave. But they are islanders, and this departure has the air of exile, of uprooting with no certainty of return. As they leave adolescence, they will be uprooted from their land, crossing a border that is both symbolic and physical. The idea is that something happens here that is more observable than elsewhere, something that concentrates and accelerates the transformations of the teenagers' personalities.
