Seated at their wooden desks, our two protagonists start fooling around with the school supplies they find inside. Using rulers, staplers, pencils and lowly rubber bands, they cobble together a zany electroacoustic concert that will have your ears ringing with a symphony of sounds and rhythms. Funny, inspiring and mischievous, this musical and theatrical adventure is brought to you live from our imaginary classroom!
Montreal composers Martin Messier and Jacques Poulin Denis offer up a dizzying array of sound possibilities. The result is an energetic, inventive and fascinating show that turns music into acrobatics!
