Within each of us there is a battle of contrasts unfolding, where shadows and light collide. Drawing inspiration from Italo Calvino’s The Cloven Viscount, this story follows two multi-instrumentalist musicians and a versatile illustrator. They dismantle genre barriers, merging the realms of concert and drawing to delve into the dualities that shape our inner complexity. Live before an audience, they weave a dreamlike tapestry in shades of black and white, accompanied by a soundtrack infused with elements of jazz and electronic music. With a blend of poetry and humour, Minuit guides us through an inner journey – a fantastical quest for beauty, even in the recesses of our darkest corners.
