musical playground There is no more primitive way of play than to make sound. Whether making sound with the body or with things, sound seems to penetrate us and make us vibrate. The musical playground is drawn as a musical composition. A grid sets conditions of space. Several giant instruments are located precisely within the grid, but their sound invades other spaces, creating areas of silence, areas of harmony and areas of cacophony. The giant instruments are inspired by instruments of wind, percussion and strings, but here the body itself is the performer. One is required to enter entirely into the instrument to generate sound, finding oneself immersed in sound. The trick is that you are not the only one playing, other participants will affect the soundscape, so let’s hope some sort of coordination takes place, but if not, there is always the possibility to enter one of the sound cabins, where one plays with one’s echo, or listens to a stranger’s secrets.
