Plastic Boum Boum
For the Compagnie du Trufu, "plastic" rhymes with "music," "rhythmic," and "comic." Their show Plastic Boum Boum is a true sonic and playful epic, tinged with a curious set of instruments and the sounds of a wacky rave party.
Philharmonie de Paris (Paris 19th)
About
Winner of the 2024 Audience Award at the Au Bonheur des Mômes festival in Le Grand-Bornand, Plastic Boum Boum tells the story of the meeting between Compost and Dr. Gazouz, two musicians returned from a zany future, the Trufu, in which electronic music survives without electricity. Wild luthiery is in motion, using reclaimed and repurposed materials: talkative construction cones, a moving blue drum, giant magic pipes, crosscut saws, and plastic crates letting out noisy treasures... The two funny clowns from the Compagnie du Trufu make music and sound out of everything, reinventing instruments and sound objects, re-enchanting the stage in a great collective techno boum boum climax. A show that invites you to dance and laugh at any age.
Preceded by one or more rehearsals, the participatory concerts invite the audience to take an active part in the show from the auditorium. They accompany the artists on stage by singing or playing excerpts of works prepared in advance.
The rehearsal for the participatory audience ("The Trufu Fanfare") will take place on Sunday, April 4 from 4:00 PM to 5:00 PM (family-friendly, children from 5 years old). Free admission with reservation.
