The Company of Humanophones was created by Rémi Leclerc with the main propose to facilitate human and artistic encounters around the music and body expression. An imperious desire to return to the essentials: the body, the voice. The Humanophones refers to themselves as “anatomical concert performers. Therefore, there’s a transversally of disciplines in their work. Always navigating between the dance, the physical theater and their bodies used as music instruments.
