Velma

Profile of the performer Velma: Velma challenge the codes of the artistic genres in their quest for new forms of performance. Emerged from rock and electronic music clubs where Velma still surprises the audience, Christian Garcia, Christophe Jaquet and Stephane Vecchione have been creating musical performances since 1999. They have developped a unique style of projecting music into the very heart of the dramatical set up. Velma offers music a new space, a space in which music is not at the service of the story, simple effect or decoration but where everything serves music.

To open up towards theatre the three artists have worked together with dancers, actors, performers and VJs. Their first concert-performances Cyclique I&II (1999, 2000) and Applique (2000) surprised and fascinated the audience of that time.
