A 100% recycled hits concert
Les Fo'Plafonds is the story of eight artists who met on rue Eugène Poubelle, guided by curiosity and a passion for music. They never left and continue to create instruments from recycled objects: pipes, cans, springs, kitchen utensils, and mechanical parts become real sound sources in their hands, which they call "instrucs". The result? A unique concert where nothing is thrown away and everything is transformed into music.
A show at the crossroads of disciplines
The show "Encore Un Tour" is much more than just a concert. It masterfully blends:
- Wild luthiery: each instrument is made from recycled materials, in an eco-responsible and inventive approach.
- Musical performance: the eight artists are accomplished musicians, trained in conservatories, mastering the saxophone as well as improvised percussion.
- Humor and burlesque: juggling, clowning, visual gags, and absurd situations punctuate the show, eliciting laughter from beginning to end.
- Eclectic repertoire: from Dalida to AC/DC, from The Police to Charlie Parker, Les Fo'Plafonds revisit the most famous hits with contagious energy.
Eight artists with multiple talents
The troupe includes Fabrice Guilbault, Marlène Pécot, Julien Thomas, François Babin, Pierre Derrien, Antoine Bouillaud, Benjamin Giet, and Adèle Camara. Conservatory musicians, percussionists, saxophonists, popular singers, they share a common passion for sound tinkering and the quest for unusual sounds. Together, they form a "flea market orchestra" whose virtuosity is matched only by its fantasy.
A tour across France
After notable performances at 13e Art and Bobino in Paris, at the Cité des Congrès de Nantes, at the Cepac Silo de Marseille, and at L'Olympia, Les Fo'Plafonds continue their "Encore Un Tour" tour throughout France in 2025-2026. The show will stop at La Comète de Saint-Étienne on Thursday, April 23, 2026, for a 1.5-hour evening of music, laughter, and wonder.
A show for all audiences
Accessible for ages 5 and up, the Les Fo'Plafonds show is an experience to share with the family. Parents and children will find themselves in an offbeat universe where creativity, humor, and music combine to offer an unforgettable moment. The show was notably presented at the Au Bonheur des Mômes festival, a benchmark for youth performances in France.
