Les chemins de traverse: the silence of mushrooms

It comes closer and becomes..., music. So often in demand, we rarely give our senses a moment's rest. What if we took the time to look and listen? Open our eyes and ears, pay attention to the smallest details, capture our attention. Simply take the time to see and hear, to help little ones discover that the sound of a simple piece of wood, metal or skin can become music, and create a sound space conducive to infinite imagination. Thanks to the colourful images of illustrator Marie Mirgaine and an original scenography set in motion by ingenious mechanisms, mushrooms are gradually revealed. All we had to do was take the time to look for them, to unearth them by opening our eyes, just as we learn to stretch out our ears to listen to and savor this delicate, minimalist music.
