BATTERIE FRAGILE (Amélie Grould, YVES CHAUDOUËT), Oto Ninski, fake_trailers AKA Leonid Kotelnikov
Resonances, jolts, tensions, harmonies: for the second edition of Large Retenue, over the course of an evening of three concerts, musicians, artists and performers occupy the 400 m2 of the Générateur in complete freedom.
Through performance, experimental music amplifies, twists and mutates. Large Retenue, like an anagram of the Generator, like a paradox: the constraint of gesture and the scale of the venue invite sonic exploration.
Amélie Grould, Yves Chaudouët
Fragile battery
Music, Ceramics
The Batterie fragile is a porcelain sculpture and musical instrument designed by visual artist Yves Chaudouët.
The drum set features a number of drums and cymbals, all made of porcelain, in different shapes and sounds, depending on their formats and firings.
His prototype was made at the École supérieure d’art des Pyrénées with ceramist Marjorie Thébault, then the Batterie fragile was developed at the École nationale supérieure d’art et de design de Limoges with Jessie Derogy. Since 2016, the work has been activated by several musicians (Iker Idoate, Bernard Lubat, Valentina Magaletti, Sylvain Darrifourcq, Aurélien Gignoux…).
For Large Retenue, contemporary multi-instrumentalist Amélie Grould takes up the instrument, for an unprecedented percussive performance.
Oto Ninski
VOIR ROUGE
Performance, Music
Born of a radio performance during the October 2020 confinement, VOIR ROUGE is a hybrid, satirical one-man show halfway between contemporary clowning and harshnoise, between dream and reality. In her turbulent meditations, the creature named Fontanelle ponders violence, control, anger and its underbelly. As best she can, she tries to make her way through her thoughts and the disobedient sounds that surround her.
Oto Ninski is an experimental sound artist and musician. Plural and raw in her practice, her surrealistic explorations of contrasts and the spaces they reveal transcend genres and take many forms. Through various sound sculpture techniques, from field recording to the wall of sound, she searches in her work for vibratory extremes aiming for an abstract and sensory narrative.
Composed, written and staged by Oto Ninski

FAKE_TRAILERS aka Leonid Kotelnikov
Queer-cursed type beat
An exiled artist from Moscow’s underground scene, Leonid Kotelnikov is elusive, geographically and artistically. Between trashy BDSM actionism, cabaret theater and hyperpop/noise music, his alias fake_trailers works with chaos to destroy any musical canon or pop culture paradigm, until tangibly touching on the familiar feeling of disquieting strangeness.
