A musical creation by Samuel Sighicelli and Benjamin de la Fuente.
RuptuR is a large-scale musical machine with a rock feel, made up of motifs and patterns that are constantly repeated and renewed, exploring their own colors, spaces and temporalities.
The hypnotic effect of repetition is sought as much as an elevating movement and emotional tension, building up to the point of rupture.
This machine, launched at full throttle, unfurls for over an hour until it comes to a screeching halt, as if broken by its own exhaustion, suddenly plunging us into a silent suspension inhabited by a deep drone, creating an unexpected vertigo.
For 3 percussionists from Percussions de Strasbourg and the group Caravaggio.
