Welcome to the singular and droll world created by Jean-Baptiste Maillet and Romain Bermond, where art and music play in sync as the duo successively take on the roles of drawing artist, sound-effects engineer, one-man band, projectionist, storyteller and props man.

Watch the scenes flow together as in a film, an entertaining silent film alternating between fully fledged stories and flights of imagination as sound and image collide, intertwine and echo each other.

Two stories intersect in this show.

The first, a tale of two silhouettes on a trip to discover the world; the second, that of a jazz singer kidnapped by extra terrestrials.

At the heart of the show lies also the emergence of a work of art, as light is shed on its creation. Each sequence is put together in front of our very eyes as drawings take shape and are projected onto a giant screen whilst an original music piece is composed live.

Witness the unexpected transformations of the artist's table as it successively turns into an audio drawing board, a giant kaleidoscope and even an overhead projector showing paintings being made with sand.

Meanwhile the one-man band improvises music on the guitar, bass guitar, harmonica, keyboards, and drums in one spectacular performance…

You will be spellbound by the deftness of stroke, the rhythm, the music.
