100 drummers from all walks of life take over the Nave of the Grand Palais to perform in unison a symphony written and directed by Lucie Antunes. A powerful collective experience.
How can 100 drums coexist? How can one conceive the unison of 100 of the loudest instruments, relying on listening, silence, and collective spirit?
Titled Symphonie Tribalisme, en 4 mouvements, this trance-like work brings together 100 people who don't know each other and come to share the same passion for music, under the baton of Lucie Antunes. A rare collective energy is born of this encounter: that of an ephemeral community celebrating in a powerful musical gesture the opportunity to play together, to form a body and unite in the face of the world's tensions. Seventeen demanding, unifying minutes of timbre and color. Seventeen minutes to say, through the force of the work, that it's always possible to be together, to create, to share and to live together joyfully. Or furiously.
From this meeting emerges a rare collective energy: that of a temporary community celebrating, through a powerful musical gesture, the opportunity to play together, become one body, and unite in the face of the world’s tensions. Seventeen demanding and unifying minutes, exploring timbres and tonal colors. Seventeen minutes to declare, through the strength of the work, that it is always possible to be together, create, share, and coexist joyfully. Or furiously.
