Silent in its early days, cinema was made of sound thanks to the live presence of musicians. This is exactly the experience that Suzy LeVoid and Leah Gracie offer to relive with "  Planet Felix  ." These two multi-instrumentalist musicians at the crossroads of pop, rock and noise , are full of imagination to make Felix the cat speak and to set his hilarious and poetic adventures to music .

If voice , bass guitar and transverse flute are their main instruments, they use a particularly eclectic instrumentarium which integrates everyday objects for their sound and comic qualities! Because Felix the Cat, who is a bit like the Charlie Chaplin of cartoons, accumulates comical situations .

To convey all this burlesque charge but also the character's very endearing nature, Suzy LeVoid and Leah Gracie have designed a musical score full of sound tricks and tips: the bass is played with a bow, everyday objects are cleverly diverted into percussion (saucepan, cutlery, broom, playing cards).

But it is the voice that is the key instrument here, the voice without words: harmonics, breaths and whispers… the palette is infinite and traversed with incredible talent and invention! Like Felix, mute and yet so eloquent, Suzy LeVoid and Leah Gracie free themselves from words to speak directly to the heart and the body.

Auditorium Patrick Devedjian

Nestled like a gem in a case of glass and wood, the Auditorium Patrick Devedjian is the centerpiece of our building. It can accommodate up to 1,150 spectators and is dedicated to acoustic music, featuring the greatest classical ensembles and musicians, foremost among them the resident orchestra: Insula orchestra.

Its appearance is open to interpretation: a bird's nest, a giant liner, "the ball"...

From the outside, its glass facade is protected and powered by a gigantic array of solar panels that moves in synchronization with the sun, overlooking the concrete liner.

From the inside, the 1,150-seat hall awakens our senses. Dedicated to classical music, jazz, and world music concerts, its light blonde wooden ceiling, cardboard tubes, and paper reveal all the secrets of the excellent acoustics of this stage.

 

Its Acoustics

Studied by the Nagata and Jean-Paul Lamoureux firm to ensure the best possible sound reproduction for the audience. All precautions have been taken to guarantee exceptional acoustics with the precision of a musical instrument.

 

Its Design

Modular, its vineyard-style arrangement creates a genuine proximity with the audience surrounding the artists. The interplay of lights, the beauty of materials (wood, mosaics, glass), and the 360° panorama are all designed to match the pleasure of the eyes with that of the ears.

Its design aims to create a sense of visual and acoustic intimacy shared between the audience and the musicians. The atmosphere of the hall is warm, with curved wooden walls and ceiling contributing to the hall’s unique sound identity. Access to the hall is provided on three levels by large suspended walkways offering panoramic views of the surrounding landscape. These are connected by large staircases forming a continuous promenade around the hall.
