In Davide Balula’s Mechanical Clock for 60 Musicians (2018), visitors will walk through a gigantic “clock” made up of sixty orchestral performers. Passing from one room to the next, and one musician to another, the audience will experience the passing of time through sound as each minute casts its own sound wave. To attend the event, purchase tickets at centrepompidou.fr.

Davide Balula’s interactive performance will incorporate the preparation and distribution of a garlic infused beverage. Musicians, who will join guests in drinking the cocktail throughout the evening, will be positioned in the crowd with brass instruments to randomly create human-like sounds.
