Origine, a performance by Les Commandos Percu: When rhythm sets the sky ablaze
For nearly thirty years, the company Les Commandos Percu has been developing a unique artistic language, blending music, percussion and pyrotechnics. Their signature style combines ancestral traditions with contemporary creativity, capable of transcending cultural boundaries and bringing together audiences from all over the world.
Pioneers of a total art form where percussion meets fire, they perform at the world’s leading international festivals, presenting productions with an unrivalled auditory and visual impact. Musicians and pyrotechnicians perform right in front of the audience, transforming rhythms, flames and lights into an intense sensory experience.
With Origine, the company presents a daring and deeply immersive production. This show, a first for the Côte-d’Or region, tells the story of imaginary beings who discover one another, grow close and build a life together, drawing the audience into a vibrant flow of emotions and sensations.
Performance duration: approximately 1 hour
