Bidule Man is a solo show by Olivier Forest, created under the banner of Théâtre à Tempo — a company whose work blends music, rhythm, dance, circus arts, and physical theatre into performances with broad audience appeal.
In this new show, Olivier Forest plays a sound researcher and collector of sonic textures who uncovers the hidden musicality in ordinary objects: ironing boards, rubber barnyard animals, hubcaps, and other items from everyday life all become instruments in his playful symphonies.
The result is a clownesque musical contortion — a path through orchestrated objects that is both absurd and musical, delivered with the comedic and physical flair that Théâtre à Tempo is known for.
Forest is already well known to audiences through previous Théâtre à Tempo productions including La Grande Étude, Concerto de bruits qui courent, L'Oubliette, and Swing Station.
