SILENCE !

Duration: 45 min

It is a silence before the great storm.
Was there a countdown, an explanation given to this darkened horizon? Someone shouted: Silence! No matter: time is now suspended, everything freezes. It is then that a dull rumbling rises from the depths until it becomes an immense crash, a rain of metal fills all space, lightning invades the sky. The murmur of the drums has become a clamor pulsed by a beat that no one can resist.
On an astonishing scenography, Les Commandos Percu, musicians and pyrotechnicians, invent a storm of sounds and fire “that speaks to the stomach”.
"Music is silence that is distorted." Between two notes, between two drum claps, silence releases all its force. What will happen? What will happen next?
The show Silence! challenges us in our relationship with time and what we do with it. It questions the future: what will we do when there is nothing left? "Necessity is the mother of invention" affirmed Frank Zappa with his Mothers Of Invention.
Silence! is a co-production : Big Drum and Chassepierre International Street Arts Festival.
