Connected sound objects, small trains, and human beatbox / Suitable for all audiences from 3 years old
SYMPHONY FOR SMALL ELECTRIC TRAINS
A giant train circuit, with its switches, tunnels, bridges... and its music: clattering, hissing, whistling, choo-choo! Imagine several trains as instruments, the rhythm of the barriers as a drum, a human beatbox musician as a delicate stationmaster… and you get Track, a sound and visual object at the crossroads of rail and poetry.
NON-VERBAL SHOW AVAILABLE FOR TOURS IN EUROPE
Ballet Ferroviaire - Laurent Duprat / L.O.S.
Françoise Sabatier-Morel - Télérama / TTT "A giant electric train game, with tracks, switches, locomotives, level crossings, and barriers… This fascinating railway circuit has everything, which is complemented in this very original show by a live sound creation, produced by the human beatbox Laurent Duprat. Performer-puppeteer, station master, and conductor, he creates a world of loops, both visual and musical: trains that turn, appear, disappear into tunnels, stop, change tracks, all while transporting sound modules (small connected cubes, technological jewels) that allow for sound spatialization. In this circular movement, all the objects come to life under the attentive, anxious, or satisfied gaze of the character (one of the barriers, also luminous and percussive devices, gradually comes to life, like a complicit bird). A theater of connected objects that has the soul and spontaneity of children's games."
Emmanuel Letreulle - Centre France "If Jacques Tati had entered 'the railways' rather than La Poste, Jour de fête would have been transformed, just think! And this great clown we adore would surely have joined the ranks of the company La Boîte à sel. (...) Track, a show that crowns three years of work, marks the meeting of rail and poetry, with here and there a touch of youthful groove like a mix of the Jacques brothers and Massive Attack. Everything happens along a circuit where little electric trains meander and intersect. An old locomotive whistles, another goes choo-choo, wagons creak, barriers open and close in time, all piloted by a tall, lunar figure who is completely overwhelmed by his wacky trains with strange trajectories. Track, a thunderous sound and visual object, was a full house yesterday afternoon, the show delighted the kids and most of their parents.”
