The Trio Xenakis unveil their new piece, conceived with visual artist Vivian Daval.

Iannis Xenakis transformed the art of his time by manipulating visual and aural space. Adélaïde Ferrière, Emmanuel Jacquet and Rodolphe Théry set up the Xenakis Trio in 2018 with the aim of furthering his ideas.

In Horizon, acrobat Chloé Moglie plays with an elongated structure that is both sculpture and support. A performance that combines physical strength and poetry, defying the laws of gravity and balance.

Les Souffles is a choreographic and acoustic performance created in collaboration with contemporary dancer and musician Mathieu Calmelet, sound artist Octave Courtin and visual artist Ludivine Large-Bessette.

Two musicians. One from the East. One from the West. Lots of strings. Very many strings. And a voice. Melancholy. Indefinable longings. Nostalgia. Inspiration. Unity. Tears. Silence. Melodies that make you dream, cry and ponder. Rhythms like distant horizons, rousing forces and soothing currents.

A personal reflection on solitude and music, performed by Thomas Baeté, viola da gamba and voice. 

Schönberg composed one of his most famous works, Pierrot lunaire, to texts by the Belgian symbolist poet Albert Giraud.

Welcome to this sonorous igloo of copper climbing plants.

Trumpets, tubas, trombones... stretching out over your head and woven into a roof of wind instruments.

A structure with brass tubes and trumpets forms a cocoon of sound within which the listener is seated.

Be seduced by the subtle, poetic world of Silvia Costa.

Atmos is a fluid project straddling the boundary between the visual and musical worlds, as much a visual installation as a collection of mechanical, air and water-based musical instruments. Within this ensemble, the performer acts, manipulates instruments and composes. Atmos reflects on the possible autonomy an instrument can have using physical phenomena such as gravity or the elasticity of materials.

Avion Papier is a caravan show at the crossroads of digital arts, music and object theatre.

Inside this mini cinema, the characters from an animation film escape and move about around the audience. Mechanical inventions rattle in our ears. We are not alone on this journey: a musician welcomes us into a childlike, dreamscape, juggling a variety of instruments to create a series of bright melodies.

Take BOB 361, a breathtaking living space, and seat an audience down in the front of three improvisers.

In the time it takes to bake a chocolate fondant, an acrobat, a trombonist and a double bassist get together and whip up a performance in which space and time are completely reorganised by simultaneous physical and sonic actions.

A creative and interactive project that investigates and celebrates family ties, understood as a common, collective endeavour. More process-focused than result-oriented, the experience proposed by Italian artist Silvia Costa sees four generations of a family engaged in sharing a task. A great-grandmother, a grandmother, a mother and a son are in front of a blank canvas. They have many colours at their disposal, brushes and pencils.

Extant is an immersive interdisciplinary performance that explores the parallel universe of the ‘behind the scenes’ and the creation of a dance film performed in real-time. 

Atmos is a fluid project straddling the boundary between the visual and musical worlds, as much a visual installation as a collection of mechanical, air and water-based musical instruments. Within this ensemble, the performer acts, manipulates instruments and composes. Atmos reflects on the possible autonomy an instrument can have using physical phenomena such as gravity or the elasticity of materials. How do chance and humanity fit into this organic-machine world, leaving more room for interpretation and musical play?
