Pelouse Extended + Nótt

Booking Required

Xavier Machault leads Pelouse, the rock side of his work, alongside Quentin Biardeau and Martin Debisschop. Their music wraps feverish saxophones, dense synths and thick basses around sensitive texts that shift between intimate, political, surreal and poetic. With mordant, offbeat humour, Pelouse strips rock and chanson to their raw core. For the group’s tenth anniversary the repertoire is enlarged: an eight-piece ensemble revisits the trio’s songs, blending contemporary music and jazz while retaining a raw, rock composition and lyrical intensity.

Ah ! Une brève histoire du cri primordial

Performances

Théâtricul

But what is “reality”?
A forgotten cassette in a tape recorder becomes the key to a journey through time.
Two coworkers, Kurt and Willard, are plunged into the heart of an unprecedented psychiatric experiment where delirium and lucidity intertwine.

They must piece together a puzzle that will lead them to the very edge of madness. “Why are you so angry? …Because all of a sudden I was taking control of something? …Huh? Until now you were used to completely controlling the situation, and now this strangeness has crept into your life…”

In French.
