introduction by Wannes Gyselinck, Concertgebouw, Bruges, Belgium
François Sarhan, composer in residence at the National Theatre in Orleans between 2009 and 2012 is simultaneously a cellist, composer, author, encyclopaedist, and a creator of stop motion animation and film. Lachez Tout is a concert and silent film with live music, actors and two Foley (film sound-effect) artists, with François Sarhan himself performing on stage. Circassian actor Claudio Stellato plays Bobok, the central character of the film, and the Foley Artists create the sounds of the doors slamming, the footsteps and the passing trucks. Lachez Tout is a total experience halfway between a detective story and a philosophical tragicomedy.

13 Vices by Brian Irvine and Jennifer Walshe
Collaboration with Ensemble Doubt
The MAC Belfast, Great Hall, Magee Campus Derry, Droichead Arts Centre Drogheda, National Concert Hall Dublin, King’s Place London
Inspired in part by Mihail Chemiakin’s 'Children are the victims of adult vices’ (a series of grotesque sculptures located in a park in Bolotnaya Square, Balchug, 800 metres south of the Moscow Kremlin) this unique work is the result of a collaboration between two of Ireland’s most dynamic compositional voices - Brian Irvine and Jennifer Walshe. 13 Vices melts down the boundaries between disciplines and dominates the space that lies somewhere between theatre, contemporary classical, free improvisation, opera, conduction, poetry, thrash and trash!
