The Inrockuptibles - This confrontation with strange “blocks” suspended in space is worthy of a close encounter of the third kind, an invitation to dialogue with unidentified objects from a distant galaxy. Connected speakers, these interactive “blocks,” some of which are entrusted to the public, invite us to dive into a rich imagination of sound and light creations. As disconcerting as it is unusual, their presence guarantees an enjoyable evening full of surprises.
Rue 89 Bordeaux - The Bordeaux company La Boîte à sel continues its sound explorations with Bad Block, a show with a playful and participatory setup.
Faced with a forest of cubic amplifiers of all sizes, perched at different heights and acting like immobile (but luminous) actors, the audience is invited to manipulate blocks, which are also amplified and numbered (up to 101). Sorts of moo boxes, but much more advanced. And, magically, exchanges and interactions unfold between these machines, which trigger unexpected sounds, converse with each other or with the spectators, making them sing or even play lines from tragedy. A master of ceremony accompanies the experience, which leaves a large part to the improvisation of the creators behind their console. A piece to be placed in everyone's hands.
Lautre scène.org - Do inanimate objects have a soul? The Bad Block show, scheduled for the eighth edition of the FAB, affirms this in an immersive and participatory experience, joyful and endearing.
