Unstable Air

Author, direction, music: Laurent Bigot

The French spectacle "Unstable Air" ("D’un Air Instable") presents music that comes to life. Its existence, however, will not be derived from classical instruments, but from everyday objects. It is thanks to glass and plastic bottles, metal cans, pipes and even aquarium filters or refrigerator motors that Laurent Bigot - the author and director - will make the animants accompanying him on stage come to life and... start a conversation. How will the fate of the heroes go? Even the author cannot be sure of this, because these items turn out to be clever and unpredictable partners.

In a dreamlike night, malleable or unstable objects are awakened, animated by the flow of air blown into their bronchi. Taking life, they rock, crack, move, breathe, whistle, belch, whirr... they speak, answer each other. It is tempting to play with them.

Laurent Bigot builds a music in their company. However, they are clever and unpredictable partners. Glass bottles, plastic bottles, metal cans, baudruches, pipes, aquarium faucets. Two fridge engines, some microphones.
