The Cabaret

 

In 2012, Les Soirées Nomades shook up the formula and inaugurated the Cabaret. According to the Larousse: "Cabaret: an entertainment establishment whose programmes include singing tricks, acts and reviews".

Mistress of ceremony: Bettina Atala

Concept, direction and interpretation: Antoine Defoort
Solving relative and absolute problems: Julien Fournet
Production: l'Amicale de production
Support: L'L - Place of research and support for young creation (Brussels), Le Vivat - Scène conventionnée danse et théâtre (Armentières), la malterie (Lille)

"Waking up from a fall from my bicycle, I wrote more than 600 poems; I buried my rabbit, lost my Latin, stumbled over the words: I drew from them a few songs that I stammered out myself, accompanied by François Hiffler with some of his fingers. Now I'm going to invite a choir and entrust them with a dozen miniatures that they will hum in several voices. "Pascale Murtin

 

MICHELLES CHARCOAL

 

Music / drawing performance: Shoboshobo, Freeka (Sgure), Sylvain Quement (Gangpol und Mit)

 

The trio Michelles Fusain - a meeting of the draughtsman Mehdi Hercberg (Shoboshobo) with the musicians Freeka Tet (Sgure) and Sylvain Quément (musical half of the duo Gangpol & Mit) - revisits drawing performances in music with a series of small pieces with constraints. A sort of "Draw and win" revisited by Fluxus...


FREEKA


Performance of a frenetic jack-of-all-trades, Freeka Tet, who randomly wanders from analogical to software interfaces, from the physical world to mathematical vertigo, tracking down without restraint and in real time all the technologies launched on the market: kinect, facial detection, servo-motor, webcam, animatronic, arduino, xbee, fio...
