Frédéric Obry
Musician and composer
Drawing on his experience with the Compagnie Zic Zazou since 1991 (Brocante Sonore, LPP9, Clap’s, etc.), Frédéric Obry has developed a musical and gestural language in which sound objects serve poetry and theatricality. Whether the instrument is invented or an object diverted from its original function (Gourdophone, Cordobasse lamp, Kodak reel guitar, Mushroom bells, Bambouphone…), it is part of a scenography that serves the play’s dramaturgy.
Since 2011, he has been working with La Compagnie du Porte-Voix as a musician, composer, instrument maker and outside observer, enabling him to understand the particularities of shows for children, such as duration, rhythm and dramaturgical construction.
In 2015, he set up La Waide Cie, which works with young audiences and offers inventive, poetic musical theatre that opens up a world of renewed imagination for children and the adults who accompany them (Les Frères Bricolo, Bric & Broc, Attrape moi).
