In Only, Les Percussions de Strasbourg work with three young female creators who have been given only one strict instruction: not to use instruments. Three creators in the broad sense, deliberately vast and all-encompassing. They are composer, choreographer, and also a bit director, set designer and painter. We didn’t want to set their roles in stone, because contemporary musical creation today steps out of the box of music alone. Six musicians who, through their presence and personality, play a full part in the creative process, including, for some pieces, on-stage work during which they are the driving force behind the work. Finally, objects, tools and no percussion: an absence which, in fact, plays an important role.
