Jean-Jacques Lemetre, for many years a theater musician for the world-famous Théatre du Soleil in Paris and more recently the theater musician for the Theater der Klaenge play “Heinrich Heine’s Le Grand”, presents in this performative concert a total of 130 instruments that are very unique and original and that have a long history and have crossed continents. He collects rare old instruments or makes instruments from natural materials, continuing an artistic approach in which elements of nature are both sources of inspiration and voices of resistance. Inspired by the shapes and sounds of nature, Jean-Jacques Lemêtre is a collector. He searches for roots, wood, vessels, leather and plants to create his instruments. From the Paleolithic to the Middle Ages, from the Aztecs to China, the journey is extensive! A tribute to the often silent nature, a vibrant echo in our society that struggles to hear the cry of the planet.

be as unbiased as possible;
approach things as if the world had just been created;
one does not reflect on a thing to death, but allows it to unfold, cautiously but freely.
