Visual artist Nikhil Chopra and electronic drummer-musician Uriel Barthélémi explore different facets of fire, this primordial element that has shaped our relationship to the world and sounds. Where does it hurt? Where does it comfort? Are we made of mud, water, air and fire?

Fire X Fire Part I: Ignition is a sound and visual exploration of the phenomenon of fire, a dive into a long-time performance, built like a diptych. By projecting ourselves into different sources of fire, natural or refined, magma or combustion, the two artists evoke and question - in images and through several incarnations of characters - the political choices of the use of fire at key periods, its multiple aspects, sacred, interior, industrial, spiritual

Fire x Fire Part II: Combustion is a sonic and visual exploration of the phenomenon of fire, an immersion in a performative experience over an extended period of time, constructed as a triptych. By projecting us into different sources of fire, natural or refined, magma or combustion, the two artists evoke and question – in images and through several incarnations of characters – the political choices of the use of fire in key periods, its multiple aspects, sacred, interior, industrial, spiritual. In a fascinating blend of music and visual art, Uriel Barthélémi’s drumming and Nikhil Chopra’s gigantic live drawings create an extraordinary performance.
