For the past ten years, Olivier Benoit has conducted the orchestra “la pieuvre” (Octopus)—one of the rare permanent orchestras of its kind in Europe. For this ensemble, he has been developing an original vocabulary of signs. It is an art of communicating which allows him to be one with his musicians in the “inter-(re)activity” of gesture and sound, and of sound and gesture. Movements, glances, and facial expressions: all bodily means come together in creation. The choice of interactivity between the conductor and the musicians has turned this singular ensemble into a field of research.Enriched by this experience, Olivier Benoit teaches this method of playing in various workshops. The concert proposed in Metz is the result of a week-long workshop with the region’s musicians. Come discover a unique musical ensemble in a choreographic concert bursting with palpable energy.
