Description: 

The creation of several instruments is done at the museum, using steel pipes, overturned stands, shutters with percussion instruments, different electrical tubes serving as horns, an Australian instrument that incorporates a cell phone, etc…

Equipped with a wireless mic, I began in the bathrooms of the RdC museum, pouring out several buckets of water into the toilets, while the audience made photocopies of their identification cards on the first floor. Frédéric Lépée, receiving all the sounds created, improvised with his computer and guitars. Going back up to the first floor, I played with my different sound and percussion instruments, but also with vibrations, movements. A tea ceremony with twelve pipes in front of the audience, allowing the progression of a large, rough board on which teacups had been placed. A hot plate with a kettle, allowing the sound work to continue thanks to the cap. The tea prepared was served to the audience. A bowl was made with the photocopies of the identity cards, newspaper sheets, and pieces of my motorbiking suit, torn and cut up. Everything being fixed with a wire.

We took out two hockey sticks on the grass and played with this ball in the rooom where the performance took place. The ball ended up exploding with the sticks’ fast and violent blows. Some pages of Le Monde were badly crumpled. I then put to the children’s ears the bowls that were smooothing out. Thanks to the loud sound, the audience could here the paper unfolding.
