PIC in Prague and other summer news
What are you up to these days ?
In this rather unsettling summer (after all, isn’t it?), we’re taking a sort of holiday together, a holiday to enjoy and share.
This summer, we’ll be playing PIC. In Prague, Czech Republic, at the hot Letní Letná circus festival. Lots of times, please.
And if you’re ever on the road, you’ll come across Nico (tenor sax, vocals) and Anne (dance, lights) on their bikes. Beautiful calves!
Whether these will be the first dates of a fantastic international tour, we don’t know.

What we do know, however, is that we’ll be rehearsing a series of them in the run-up to Christmas, this winter, in Toulouse (La Grainerie, Balma), under our big top, as open as possible. Performances will include Cosmo*phonie, a circus and music show initiated by members of the orchestra, and an almost non-stop forró festival… If, like the birds, you seek warmth when the cold rises, perhaps you’ll be there!

And do you know, after five years spent there building a place with our own hands (Caracol), we left the Echangeur (where a gentleman didn’t want us any more…), and headed for Pantin, where good friends welcomed us with open arms (le Tympan). These things take time and energy ! And so, searching high and low for a welcoming place to set down our trunks, we met up again with the folks from Le Point Fort, in Auvervilliers (inventors of the Villes des Musiques du Monde association), with whom we’re now looking forward to some wonderful artistic collaborations – keep your ears to the ground.

The past few months have also seen the fortuitous beginnings of a collaboration with Guadalupe Marín Burgin, an Argentinian painter and graphic designer. During a few concerts, she projected a series of colorful images onto us, images and sequences full of meaning that made us want to begin a long-term collaboration. Today, it’s a done deal, and this fall we’ll be unveiling a new kind of supernaturally imaged music video, not seen since the early days of mtv (all of which makes our audience so much younger).
An opportunity to salute Caroline Pageaud who, over the last few years, has worked with her brushes and pencils at our side, something she obviously continues to do, and you’d better follow her !
