During more than 400 interventions, Acousteel Gang has wandered through thousands of streets, all of them different, all of them full of ordinary people, shoppers, festival goers, carnival followers... Its members have created their very own way of inhabiting this public space, they're gentle and wild, festive and friendly. The steel drum – coming from petrol industry and Trinidad people’s imagination - is their ally, a metallic and melodious drum straight from the Caribbean fires, with its unusual and powerful sound.
Acousteel Gang's performance in the main street festivals since 1994 only went to emphasise the fact that they stand out from the crowd.
With their 4th creation, ‘THE ACOUSTEEL SHOWS OFF’ by bringing voices to the street…
Joined in 20005 by a singer-crier with a megaphone, an energetic showman, the 8 lads revisit and clear away the cobwebs of some “different” musics and big disco, funk and ska standards… The Acousteel boys, in their smart white suits, improvise as choral singers, give free rein to a representation of “Theatre of the South and reinvent themselves as dancers with unbridled energy.
Redirected in 2009 by Frédéric ELKAÏM, these 8 guys (showing off…) take the lead by turns… Voices and steel drums progressively reveal the thread that links the different parts of the spectacle mingle, emerge, provoke and are tamed … with appealing humour !
