About the Event

A graceful yet unrelenting duel of beatbox and percussions, Mirlitons is a marathon vocal and dance duet from musician Aymeric Hainaux and choreographer François Chaignaud. Set on an intimate stage reminiscent of an arena, the work finds Hainaux and Chaignaud confronting each other with their respective forms – voices and bodies amplified by microphones, loudspeakers, risers, bells and shoes. Melding the radical simplicity of beatboxing with song and dance, Mirlitons is an enthralling tour de force that places rhythm, both in sound and movement, at the forefront.
