Cocanha: Two Voices and Stringed Tambourines

Performances

Théâtre de l'Orangerie

Cocanha is a vocal and percussion duo rooted in Occitan traditional music, performed by Lila Fraysse and Caroline Dufau with sound by Sanz Grosclaude. Two voices and stringed tambourines weave hypnotic polyphonies while foot rhythms and struck textures animate archival songs. The performance blurs archive and living tradition: melodies shift, words reappear transformed, and the intimate pulse invites physical response, carrying ancient tunes into contemporary space.

The Wheel of Fortune

Performances

Théâtre de l'Orangerie

Two unexpected deities arrive by bicycle, guided by a capricious GPS, carrying a very serious object: the Wheel of Fortune. They need the audience—especially children—to spin the wheel and together invent a story about a child to whom nothing seems to go right. Misfortunes pile up, luck sticks to the sneakers and solutions must be imagined. A participatory musical tale where chance and imagination shape a different story each time.

In French. Kids ages 5 and up.
