Discover the latest trends with "Sacrés Français!" An inventive group of artists sets the trend with their daring creativity, their style and quirky comments.
"Stéréoptik" is like a live animation-movie! Every sequence of the film tales shape on stage as drawings are projected on a giant screen and the musical score is played live. This work tells two different tales: the first one is about two characters off to discover the world; the second one is about a jazz singer kidnapped by aliens from outer space… Jean-Baptiste Maillet and Romain Bermond are take turns drawing, producing sound effects, playing the music, projecting the film, telling the stories... They create a strange world both intimate and funny in which drawing and music go hand in hand. You will discover the unexpected transformation of a table into a sound producing drawing board into a giant kaleidoscope… The music man plays the bass, guitar, harmonica, keyboards, and drums and improvises the music while, at the same time, giving us a spectacular performance.
"Stéréoptik gives the same enjoyment, as did the first silent movies or shadow-puppet performances. Jean-Baptiste Maillet and Romain Bermond are circus tumblers and, on stage, they juggle as willingly with bits and pieces as they do with top-level technology." L’Usine C, Montréal, Québec.
Stéréoptik Company was founded in 2009 by Romain Bermond and Jean-Baptiste Maillet; it explores the relationship between sound and images, video and manipulation.
