Enter, venture into the landscape, in search of the "Génie du lieu". Music vibrates with the world, introducing a sensitive listening to Life. It touches on the invisible and the mystery that inhabit things, space and time.

"Dieu lune et la grenouille" (Moon God and the Frog) is a sound and stage creation performed by two magician-musicians - Heloïse Thibault and Olmo Guadagnoli - who conjure up electronic instruments, a variety of percussion instruments and curious sound objects to take us on a phantasmagorical journey from the origins of the world to the extraordinary adventures of a frog. In a mystical world where the genie in the sky forgets to send the rain, the animal heroine, accompanied by a Wasp, a Rooster and a Tiger, sets off on a celestial journey to ask for water. An invitation to the gates of dreams and the discovery of an enchanted planet, the piece takes the form of a dreamlike tale, akin to an ecological fable, crossing a galaxy of sounds and noises to meet inspiring creatures.

Poetically tuned vocals and soft, distorted melodies weave the story and invite you to enter the musical adventure. The tale emerges gradually. It is lived in the BPM of the forest. Nature and the animals' ascent to heaven come to life through sound, scenery and costumes. Wooden sticks connected glitch pop style, vibrating bug figurines on snare drums, electrified bread apples for never-before-heard scales, slinky springs connected to drums. The instrumental parts, based on amplified natural instruments, low-tech assemblies, pedals and synthesizers, form an electro-acoustic device that leads to a reflection on the Living.

An experimental dream pop proposition, the sound layers are superimposed, progressive, touching on ambient, noise, playing with traditional influences, verging on technoid trance on the sung march of animals illuminated by the moon, reaching for a better world. At the gates of the imagination, the passage between worlds takes place, a gentle, gradual, haunting shift between the real and the fantastic.
