Compost Collaps x Dr Gagouz - Cie du Trufu

Compost Collaps is a percussionist and their CC220—a handmade, custom-built 100% upcycled instrument. The sound system of the future. Tomorrow’s rhythm machine. A live performance of original compositions, inspired by dancefloors near and far, mixed together like a DJ set. It’s hot, it pulses, and you leave feeling stronger, motivated, and together. A telluric kick drum, 220 litres of plastic, pounding as hard as our hearts beat. Viscera basslines, 18 metres of tubes, giving you the strength to defend what you love. Metal snare drums that crack like the blows we take—before lifting our heads and stamping our feet again, and again. An oil barrel, a kitchen in B minor, a small siren, a long saw, a giant spring… always more, never the same.

For tomorrows that sing and beat. So that, everywhere and always, the party continues.

Company Presentation
Compost got his name from his fascination with compost—smelly yet life-giving. “Everything comes from compost; everything returns to it. I love creating living things from dead matter.” Born in 2094 in an Alpine village, Compost is obsessed with Trufu traditional music. “I grew up surrounded by music—everywhere, all the time. Trufu musicians accompany every moment of the day and life. And then there are the sound systems.” In the 22nd century, sound systems are instruments crafted from waste—the primary resource of the age. Played by one or more people, these devices produce Techlow music: a fusion of techno, house, trance, drum & bass, gabber, dancehall, reggaeton, afrobeats, and more. In a world where low-tech systems have replaced most modern comforts without the ecological cost, music has embraced this revolution. On 1 January 2120, during a rehearsal in his chapel, Compost experiences a temporal anomaly that sends him exactly one century into the past. Lost and disoriented, he is taken in by locals who help him adapt and encourage him to do what he does best: play Techlow. Initially busking in the streets, his futuristic music resonates with audiences, leading to invitations to larger and larger stages. “Your sound systems are insane, and it’s weird to perform amplified concerts where no one pedals—but my music seems to do people good, and my story touches them.” Audiences leave Compost Collaps concerts full of the energy transmitted by the sound—and with a story of a future that defies the usual catastrophic narratives.
