WORK IS ART !
MUSICAL AND VISUAL PERFORMANCE IN SITU WITH THE WORK ACT
TRISTAN PRADELLE / ALEXANDRE PERROT / ARIEL TESSIER / SIMON HENOCQ
WORKER GROUP
Billions of people work to make our world exist every day. In the confines of companies and in the middle of striking scenographies, this activity shows sensitive and inhabited bodies in the middle of particular soundscapes.
WORK IS ART ! places four musicians alongside a group of workers in action in manufacturing workshops, factories or construction sites. They compose together a music where the sound of the instruments mixes with the sound of the machines, with the noises of work.
Workers and musicians become the artists of an original moment, both sonorous and very visual.
It’s an event of simultaneous fabrications. It’s social, it engages to speak about the everyday life, about poetry, about participation . .
