Ballet Mekanique (for all audiences)
Ballet Mekanique (for all audiences)

An ensemble of five young musicians, graduates of our very own Music Academy and a former PARTS dancer propose a performance at the point where concert and choreography meet.
Point of departure: the body’s response to the music.
Point of arrival: the body itself having become the instrument.
Between the two, in the guise of a surrealist interlude, the artists perform with the strangest of instruments, bird whistles, toy trumpets, whoopee cushions, and reveal authentic machines with their futurist sounds, designed by Russolo in 1913 (the intonarumori). Faced with the challenge of inventing its own music, the public follows an animated film on a giant screen that guides it to areas of virtuoso composition.
On the programme: works by the composer-inventor Mark Applebaum, the composer-handyman Mauro Lanza and composers-performers David Helbich and Matthew Shlomowitz
