Clair obscur (fr)

Da un comunicato stampa:

CLAIR OBSCUR originated in 1981 in the new wave / cold wave / industrial scene.
Their shows mixing music and visual performances were very quickly recognised, and became a reference to both the buying public and the up and coming French independant radio stations.

They were invited to play at the Ecole des Beaux Arts de Paris as well as
to support Killing Joke at the Palace in Paris.

Clair Obscur invited performers, dancers, plasticians, musicians coming
from jazz and classical music... and attempted to break the established sketches of the performance, as for example by creating in an Italian style theatre (théâtre Déjazet in Paris) a feigned bucolic decorum, featuring
a chamber orchestra and replicas of famous impressionist paintings,
to destroy it immediately after.

After an absence of seven years, Clair Obscur have formed up again
in November 2004.....Clair Obscur are still at work with their future album...
