The Sound of Things is an immersive musical performance created and performed by Daniel Duret. Performed largely in darkness, it brings original music and everyday sounds together in a poetic world.
On stage, Daniel Duret performs his original compositions on the piano, in dialogue with orchestral elements and soundscapes spatialized around the audience.
Between the tableaux, a vintage radio comes to life. Its recorded interludes in French punctuate the journey and open the door to new sonic landscapes. The city, the countryside, the ocean, the master of time, childhood memories, Pandemonium…
