machine à sons is a humorous, sweet-and-sour, dadaist absurd that blends the different genres of performing arts by criss-crossing the borders of a musical concert, a theatre and a contemporary dance performance. The performers endeavour with pseudo-scientific precision and unexpected results to catch inaudible sounds and turn them audible for all. By the end of the performance we will learn how a fly screams when it bumps into a burning-hot light bulb, what Mr. Fish says to his beloved when it asks for her fin in marriage, or what a rose whispers when the first rays of the morning sun appear.

The members of compagnie drift undertake to guide the public along an unknown, magical world. The grotesque discoveries of the dancer-singer-noisemaker protagonists, the subtlety of the sounds and movements promise a surrealisticly profound and playfully light experience.
