What does mirliton mean? Depending on the context, a mirliton could be a kid’s flute, a bad poem, an old French coin, a military hat, or a pastry. In this performance, it’s an encounter between two voices and bodies: choreographer François Chaignaud and beatboxer Aymeric Hainaux. The audience is presented with a total saturation of frequencies and muscles in this energetic performance, as the artists engage in a percussive duel. Through their voices, feet, arms, props and costumes, Chaignaud and Hainaux create a duet that is as uncategorizable as the word mirliton.

With the support of Dance Reflections by Van Cleef & Arpels.
