The Sowers
The Sowers crew invite audiences on a cosmic voyage aboard their musical spaceship. It’s thanks to the breath and movement of spectators from the youngest age that this imaginary journey can take place. Take to the stars, breathe together, spread your wings and transform yourself into a condor to fly over the Andes… Land at the very top of the Altiplano and travel the mountains with the peasant who sows and connects the earth and the sky through his movement. Then admire the sunset from the stars, where day and night meet endlessly…
The Sowers offer a “dance concert to share” that can take place outdoors or indoors, in theatres, parks, museums, architectural spaces, etc. Artists with a wide range of talents explore the link between sound and movement, playing with bodies, rhythms and voices. Indian bells, Benin bells, Baschet crystal, bagpipes…
The Ballad of the Sowers
This stroll may be a prelude to the fixed concert, or it may be an artistic proposition in its own right, an “acoustic artistic stroll” with no special conditions invented to suit the space and the audience. The artists, musicians and dancers, take the public on a musical and dance journey into the heart of nature, inviting them to look at the landscape architecture and to escape through music and movement to a moment out of time. Audiences of all ages are invited to take part in this sensitive, musical encounter.
