The cat escapes, the words twist and distort, transforming themselves into music free of all constraints. This immersive performance revisits the experimental and improvised music of the 60s, based on a children?s album.
Initially, it's the story of a confrontation between a stubbornly free cat and a tyrannical child. But here, the narrative writing of the children?s album is poetically distorted until it becomes music.
A narrator-guitarist, a singer, a saxophonist and an electronic music maestro find themselves on the edge between theater, music and poetry.
The text is triturated by a plural use of languages, recorded, spoken and sung voices... Spatialized listening, with the addition of electronic music and improvised sounds, plunges the audience into both a storytelling and a sensory experience.
Neon lights as the only backdrop contribute to the visual writing of a show that refers to the improvised and experimental music of the 60s.
A wonderfully accessible musical performance by Maïrol Compagnie, to be experienced with or without your own private cat!
