Piccoli Tempi

Small nomadic form

Inspired by nomadic peoples, a “hunter-gatherer of sounds” offers a musical journey evoking different states of nature. Bodies in motion, rhythms, strange-sounding vocalisations… This nomadic musician plays with time as she plays with sound, and manipulates instruments with surprising shapes and sounds, offering multiple possibilities for musical and physical play. This interactive show resonates with the issues surrounding migration, and is particularly well received by non-French-speaking audiences.

Piccoli Tempi is based on the artistic, musical and physical material of Primo Tempo, an indoor theatre production. This interactive proposal was born in childcare environments, and adapts to the particularities of each place.
