[vc_row columns_gap=”60″ tablet_sm_columns_vertical_gap=”30″][vc_column width=”2\/3″ tablet_sm_width=”1″][vc_column_text css=””]Dancers, musicians and singers, artists with a wide range of talents explore shapes and colours through the interplay of bodies and rhythms, voices and images. Songs and percussion meet dance in a colourful dynamic where the arts mingle for the pleasure of the eyes and ears. Musical instruments (frame drums, Beninese bells, tuned bottles, etc.) transform the silhouettes while opening the doors to the imaginary world. What is the image of what I hear? What is the sound of what I see? Points, lines, colours, textures… They are inspired by the vocabulary of abstract art and explore notions of contrast, nuance, light and shade, emptiness and fullness. Big or small, square or round, 8 feet and 8 hands, 40 toes and 40 fingers… Four hearts in four bodies beat time to create a living musical tableau.<\/p>\n

Body Quartet plunges us into the world of abstract art. This “concert of images” is inspired by artists representing different currents in abstraction, from its origins to contemporary visual arts: Kandinsky, Delaunay, Mir\u00f2, Rothko, Pollock, Tinguely, Julio le Parc… Conceived as a series of “tableaux” – T\u00e9tracor, Le vide et le plein, La quadrature du cercle, G\u00e9ant et minuscule… – the forms and colours are expressed through music and movement.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text]

“In successive tableaux, the stage space is transformed, moving from shadow play on large panels of white canvas to the magical emergence of colour, from sound and rhythm (body percussion and astonishing invented instruments) to sensitive movement… The palette is wide and the talent on show. A play about the creative act, to be shared joyfully.”<\/span><\/h6>[vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1715872274183{border-top-width: 1px !important;padding-top: 15px !important;border-top-style: solid !important;border-color: rgba(0,0,0,0.12) !important;}” text_style=”leader-text”]Fran\u00e7oise Sabatier-Morel – TTT On aime passionn\u00e9ment – T\u00e9l\u00e9rama Sortir, January 2015[\/vc_column_text]

“Painting, singing, the artists draw on all forms of artistic expression, inviting children to be astonished, curious, and to awaken their senses in their relationship with the physical world. Even adults are surprised by their creativity.”<\/span><\/h6>[vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1715872326959{border-top-width: 1px !important;padding-top: 15px !important;border-top-style: solid !important;border-color: rgba(0,0,0,0.12) !important;}” text_style=”leader-text”]Le Journal du Centre (Nevers), January 2015[\/vc_column_text]

“Four artists – dancers, actors and singers – offer a palette of interpretations of abstract art in which the body leads the dance, the voice orders the movement, the light guides the expression and the music whispers its creative breath. (…) A multi-disciplinary show where sensation is the essence of creativity.”<\/span><\/h6>[vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1715872360811{border-top-width: 1px !important;padding-top: 15px !important;border-top-style: solid !important;border-color: rgba(0,0,0,0.12) !important;}” text_style=”leader-text”]Audrey Terrisse – L\u2019art abstrait en sensations – La Nouvelle R\u00e9publique, November 2014[\/vc_column_text]

“There’s an aura of original, playful discovery. An encounter between ‘abstract’ painting and experimental music… (…) the two come together, with the idea of creating ephemeral, moving, contemplative and striking tableaux, ‘concerts of images’.”<\/span><\/h6>[vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1715872404317{border-top-width: 1px !important;padding-top: 15px !important;border-top-style: solid !important;border-color: rgba(0,0,0,0.12) !important;}” text_style=”leader-text”]Le Piccolo, November 2014[\/vc_column_text]
