Men have always had a complex relationship with machines designed by other men. Toys, magical or dangerous objets ?

The Béla Quartet which we have the pleasure to see again on the plateau de la Croix-Rousse for this new exploratory music biennal, enjoys, as we know, giving a chance to slightly crazy endeavours. With the pianist Wilhelm Latchoumia, they offer us an outstanding musical moment.

On stage, an orchestra made up of mechanical and anachronistic instruments where the hurdy gurdy and the barrel organ mix with the venerable instruments of a string quartet and a grand piano.

Five composers were invited to write for a specific group of instruments. Five expressions of different sensitivities which will convey tensions and unexpected emotions to the audience.
