La Fanfare D'occasion is an ultra-mobile little brass band
that doesn't hold still.
It can hang from the curtain or from your neck,
throw itself down to see what's going on,
or for a bit, while you dance,
it too enters the circle ...

Fantôme is a show combining digital arts, music and object theater.
Based on an animated film, it tells the story of a child who unwittingly triggers a popular revolt and the collapse of a totalitarian system.
It uses the narrative principle of cine-concert, with live performers and unique scenic devices that evolve with the story. Through the power of the imagination, Fantôme aims to inspire a poetic uprising by transporting the audience into a powerful dreamlike adventure
