The three compositions of this concert are based on the same concept: the musical-performative interpretation of a visual template. Three works by visual artists serve the composers and musicians as a source of inspiration, a sculptural instrument or a dynamic score.

This concert was the start of the series "Starting from Sketch", for which the Ensemble Megaphon commissions painters, draughtsmen, object and video artists to create a picture, a comic, a sculpture, an animation or a short film, in order to then interpret these works musically and scenically in various ways and integrate them into the performance.
