Car Art at Brighton Festival " Drôles d'Oiseaux " By Generik Vapeur

Its the UK Premiere for the Brighton Festival.
A convoy of white cars are bound together like pearls on a string. A farmer's tractor bears the strain and urges them on their incongruous journey. Boiler-suited house painters ride the roofs wielding the tools of their trade. Live rock music drives the procession onwards with edgy industrial energy.
En route, paintbrush battles transform the snaking car train into a slapdash rainbow of shocking hues. Destination reached, the metallic canvases are hoisted high and hung to dry like multi-coloured birds on a wire. Finally, this improbable sculpture becomes the centrepiece of a luminous spectacle of
paint, fire, music and mayhem.

Générik Vapeur is invited as part of the ZEPA network, supported by the Interreg IVA France (Channel) England cross-border programme. Marseille's Générik Vapeur is one of France's premier street theatre producers and one of the ZEPA network's two associate companies.
Over 24 years they have performed to some three million spectators, travelled one million km, exploded twenty tonnes of powder and been twice round the world in magnetic tape! If you can't wait until the Festival, their journey of the ZEPA region begins in March 2011 in Newhaven (zapart.co.uk). They return to Brighton in 2012 with newly commissioned ZEPA supported production Waterlitz.
