Xavier Boussiron, Sophie Perez's partner in the Compagnie du Zerep, he is an artist and musician. He likes Schubert, Steve Cropper, Georges Milton, Werner Herzog, Bo Diddley, Roy Budd... but you don't necessarily hear it at first. His music is to emotion what repackaging is to butchery; a way of dealing with feeling to revive the freshness of melody.

 

On the occasion of the Zerep exhibition at the Abattoirs as part of le Printemps de septembre, Xavier Boussiron will give a concert of minouche guitar entitled "Faut empoigner les larmes à pleines mains" (Grabbing tears with full hands), a new opus in the endless musical series "Les mains de Boussiron" (Boussiron's hands) accompanied by a surprise guest.
