Barbarie asks the question with poetry and humor of the relationship we want to maintain with the machine: a battle lost in advance against an insensitive rival or a benevolent and virtuous agreement?

The "enfants terribles of the French quartet" invite the charismatic pianist Wilhem Latchoumia for this extraordinary concert, in which they are accompanied by an improbable and anachronistic orchestra where hurdy-gurdy, mechanical piano and barrel organ rub shoulders with the venerable string quartet and the antique piano. 

A completely new musical adventure ground where Albert Marcoeur's crazy rock, Raphaël Cendo's instrumental saturation, Noriko Baba's delicacy and Marco Stroppa's and Frédéric Aurier's elaborate melismas are deployed.
