This concept has been getting better and better over time to several circumstances and different publics presenting new tools for musical and performative experiences.

It is just music, creativity and amusing.
Performance
A Bit of Bit
This fun one-man-show interactively engages the audience, sometimes in totality transforms the audience into a huge choir, sometimes divides it to create suits, and also invites people to take the stage to build the various moments of the show. Bit, the usher, is represented by a single musician-actor-builder who, between gags and proposals, is following step-by-step the construction of a show taking care of all the details. see more
