percussion & movement around Gare du Midi
A new artistic project with and for people living and working in the neighbourhoods around the Gare du Midi. Through the use of accessible percussion music, movement and other art forms, Sara Moonen and Ilaria Orlandini forge a basic repertoire that allows musicians and dancers of all levels to connect with the audience and the public space.

Famille de Rythmiques & Activisme Permanents (FRAP!) is a hybrid, acoustic and mobile ensemble. The backbone is composed of percussion group Salamba and OOAA!, a collective around movement and improvisation. Other groups and artists can be added as the occasion demands for it.
Through specific interventions at block parties, parades, demonstrations or other grassroots initiatives, this project aims to draw attention to themes such as well-being, mobility and climate. Since the launch at the Fête des Voisins Les Tanneurs in June 2025, they are planning new actions in the Gare du Midi area in ‘26 and ‘27.
