Project: Pastorale Plastique (2026)

With the Ensemble Godot, Roberto Negro offers an effervescent sonic escapade for piano, percussion and wind ensemble, where every note transforms, bends and is rediscovered. From the intimate to the grandiose, the sound space becomes a playground where timbres and textures cross, jostle and constantly redefine themselves.

As in Beckett, we move forward, we search, in playful suspension. The music builds itself, slips away, layers up and reinvents itself. Faithful to an approach combining chiselled writing and daring improvisation, the Ensemble Godot plays with intensity and tension, drawing the audience into a lush sonic adventure.

Rozy has built a very big toy made of pistons and buffers in her secret workshop, located in the third drawer of her rainbow cupboard. The toy is well tuned, it moves and sounds just as she imagined, but a few squeaks from time to time push Rozy to watch the machine more closely, and the timing of its gears. Rozy needs precision. She takes out her stopwatch and fine-tunes the settings.
