Mirlitons

Is it a concert, a battle, a ritual, a pastoral? The origins of Mirlitons lie in the encounter between two heterogeneous performative universes: that of François Chaignaud, dancer, singer and performer who for many years has used his voice as a vehicle for sensory and spiritual states. And that of Aymeric Hainaux, multiple artist, beatboxer and musician, who mixes ritornellos, beats, feedback and screams. Each influenced by the other's work, they came together with the desire to test their respective limits, to delve into the murky zones of song and rhythm, to invent their own musical and physical writing. Using the stage as a playground with fluctuating rules, they use their vocal chords, their feet and their arms to develop a physical score. On the lookout, in friction, in contact, listening, their duo is like a mirliton (musical instrument, headdress, Louis d'or or pastry): polysemic, sonorous, elusive.
