"What they took for silence, because they don't know how to listen, was filled with random noises. A light wind could be heard outside during the first movement. During the second, raindrops began to dance on the roof, and during the third it was the people themselves who produced all sorts of interesting sounds by talking or walking away"
John Cage about the piece 4'33
Silence is a myth. It doesn't exist. With our ears glued to the shell, we hear the sea, the sea of our blood pounding the tide of our bodies.

Clément Vercelletto
musician, director
Clément Vercelletto was born in Lyon in 1981, and has a dual career as a musician and stage director. His artistic approach tends to find points of friction and clarity between these two practices. Or how sound becomes a postulate, a vector for activating the body and voice of performers on stage.
He trained at the ENM in Villeurbanne (Percussion), at the CRR in Lyon (Electroacoustic Composition) and at the IGTS (Performing arts, sound option). He works as a musician/composer/performer for directors and choreographers Marion Aeschlimann, Matthieu Cruciani, Malika Djardi, Léa Drouet, Madeleine Fournier, Yves Noël Genod, Bastien Mignot, Sylvie Mongin Algan, Léna Paugam.
Since 2011, he has been taking part in workshops at ENSAV Lacambre in Brussels, resulting in performances. Some of these performances will be repeated in other contexts, notably "Tape Ensemble" at the Palais de Tokyo in September 2016. He plays in the music groups Kaumwald (with Ernest Bergez), Orgue Agnes (with Elg and Ernest Bergez), Ishin Denshin (with Bastien Mignot, Julien Desprez and Arnaud Laprêt), as well as solo.
Since 2014 he has been directing his own projects and creating the structure he co-directs with Bastien Mignot: Les Sciences Naturelles.
La mélodie des choses, his next project, will be created in June 2018 at Les Subsistances in Lyon.
Bastien Mignot
dancer, actor, director, performer, choreographer
Born in Paris in the early 80s, Bastien Mignot could be a dancer, actor, director, performer or choreographer.
He trained in theater at the École Supérieure d'Art Dramatique Pierre Debauche in the early 2000s. After several years as an actor, he turned to performance art and contemporary dance. It was here that he met Yves-Noël Genod and Massimo Furlan, and began his own work, both scenic and visual. He also collaborated with photographer Grégoire Édouard and musician Clément Vercelletto. It was with the latter that he founded the association Les Sciences Naturelles, an entity in which they chose to put together what they each do and also what they do together. In 2013, he joined the ex.e.r.ce research master's program at the Centre Chorégraphique National de Montpellier under the direction of Mathilde Monnier. You could say that his artistic work consists in reinventing rituals. It's a protean, sensitive work where multiple, deliberately non-hierarchical inspirations and obsessions meet. Invisible worlds, ruins, landscape and disappearance are the main fields of exploration.
