Fourteen participants lie face down where they occupy the atrium of the museum and proceed to pound the ground with the microphone one thousand times. The sound of each person’s actions is amplified. Each performer chooses their own rhythm and intensity.

The performance was part of C’est arrivé près de chez vous at the Musée National des Beaux-Arts du Québec (curator Nathalie de Blois), January 17, 8-11pm.

Participants: Carol-Ann Belzil-Normand, Wahmed Benyounes, Adam Bergeron, Edith Dufour, Martin Dufrasne, Caroline Gagné, Caroline Gauthier, Pascal Gingras, Jonathan Lamy, Josée Landry-Sirois, Pierre-Luc Lapointe, Christof Migone, Hugo Nadeau, Geraldine Perna.
