Creation residency
Anatomia is a sound and visual performance that brings together two performers on stage, a pianist and a visual artist.
This project aims to be a new look at the piano.
The performance begins like a recital with the interpretation of Funérailles by Franz Liszt. Then in a slow drift, the work undergoes alterations. The microphonic sensors placed inside the instrument reveal asperities and amplify, focus and magnify the details of the sound. A breach opens towards the world of "sound" in a concrete exploration of the instrument. The original work is undone, perception is sharpened, listening changes its nature to get closer to the sound source.
The instrument also disintegrates, its body is opened, dissected, rearranged and then exposed in the space. The noisy sounds of destruction: shock, grinding, rubbing ... are valued, musicalized and can be read as an attempt at language.
Finally, the addition of new organs grafted on his suspended body comes to excite the instrument, to return it to life. It is then a question of marrying this new body, its eviscerated belly, of dissolving into the instrument playing alone. The public can enter, wander in this scenographic and vibratory space.
"Thus would be produced in the body to body musician, inventions of improbable bodies and still without figure nor destination... Weft or traces of organs still inorganized - neither dead, nor alive - which are membranous, dismembered, pressed together, packed, growing, branching..." - Peter Szendy, Phantom Members

Claudine Simon is developing a sound creation work that focuses on experimenting with the instrument and the capabilities of the piano. She conceives performances that allow her to question her relationship to the instrument by deconstructing the representations associated with it.
Rudy Decelière
Plastic creation, performance
Rudy Decelière studied at the School of Fine Arts in Geneva and explored sound art mainly through the medium of installation, proposing both outdoor and indoor spaces, in perpetual relation with their situations, their architectural components and their native soundscapes.
From his parallel quality of sound recorder for the cinema or sound creator for interdisciplinary pieces come multiple reflections around the sound, its space and the relations or limits that these last ones maintain with the music, giving punctually place to performances or multi-tracks pieces diffused in circumstance.
Laurent Sassi
Sound device, phonographer
Born in 1973 in Abidjan, he lives in Rabastens (81). Since 1995, he has been exploring the practice of sound and its restitution linked to all contemporary fields: improvised, instrumental, mixed, electronic music, phonography and the art of sound in theater.
He tries to listen, without preconceived ideas, without bias, with his ears constantly open to everything that can happen. The time to enter oneself in the context, to be forgotten, to become one of the characters of the lives he crosses.
Phonography is a contemporary musical practice heir of concrete music. By transposing photography and image to sound, it records an environment that it recomposes from an experience of original listening and choices made during the sound recording, then "framing - editing", transpositions, and modes of diffusion. One can see in it the art of capturing sound energy and of engraving its imprint in order to then put into play and into space imaginary sound events.
Pau Simon
Regard espace
Pau Simon is a choreographic and protean artist. She trained at the CNR in Lyon before joining the Conservatoire Supérieur de Paris (CNSMD) in the contemporary dance program. She progressively broadens her practice with martial arts, contact dance and music. She graduated in 2007 from the DE at the CND de Pantin, and attended workshops with Odile Duboc, Loïc Touze and Mathieu Bouvier, Fanny De Chaillé, La Ribot, Vincent Dupont, Jennifer Lacey, Elisabeth Lebovici, Noé Soulier, Jeremy Wade, and Julyen Hamilton.
Since 2012, she has been developing a multidisciplinary work through the association Suprabénigne, including Exploit (first prize and audience prize of the Danse Elargie competition at the Théâtre de la Ville), Sérendipité, Perlaborer, Pendulum, and Postérieurs, Lo-fi dance, Per que Torcut Dansan Lo Monde in collaboration with Ernest Bergez (Sourdure). Her different works have been created at the Ménagerie de Verre, the Théâtre des Abbesses, the Théâtre de la Cité Internationale, in Avignon as part of the sujets à vifs, or at the Centre Pompidou as part of the exhibition Museum ON/OFF. She is invited as a "collector" of sound documents for the Encyclopédie de la Parole, or as a member of critical research groups at the FAR festival in Nyon and at the international meetings of the Festival Transamériques (Montreal).
She obtained a Master's degree at the EHESS in Arts and Languages, where she linked artistic and theoretical research in view of a new creation, The Great Hold up!
