Made to measure
Notice to operators, associations, artists: you can place an order now!
To date, we have more than thirty-five years of experience. Dozens of artists who feed the imagination and experience of the Collectif. An expertise in live music, composition, multidisciplinary work, public space, pedagogy, performance music...
In view of this potential and these achievements, cultural operators and artists do not hesitate to entrust us with orders, and we like that!
— A few examples
• Ciné Concert
BOZAR has invited the Collectif du Lion on two occasions, as part of UFA Films Night, to create and perform musical accompaniment for silent films.
Given its success with an intergenerational audience, the "Ciné Concert" adventure continues, with three short films by the most irresistible comic duo in cinema history: Laurel and Hardy.
With their energy and communicative good humor, the Collectif du Lion provide the soundtrack for this fun-filled family event.

• ‘Est-ce un oiseau ?’
An intriguing mix of theatre, music, poetry and plastic art questions.
Performance created at the request of the Province of Liège - Plastic Arts sector- and Arsenic2, a popular travelling theatre. It was first performed on 13 September 2014, at the Château of Jehay, as part of the Arts & Métaux exhibition of the Province of Liège.
• Répercussion-ID
multidisciplinary creation on the theme of identity
In 2020, the Espace MAGH offers us a creation for the opening of its Origin'Aléas festival. It will take the form of a hybrid performance in which rhythms, words and movements intertwine, to dive into the heart of DNA and glimpse the multitude of possibilities.

• Sous les Pavés
Street performance combining contemporary dance, jazz and urban poetry.
In 2011, Alain Coulon and Michèle Detry, in charge of the Festival ‘Sortilèges Rue et Vous’ from Ath, offered us a creation for their 2012 street festival. The 'public space' and 'decompartmentalization of genres' aspects developed in the 2009 edition of ‘Un Éléphant dans la Ville’ were in line with their wish to promote a musical expression that is not only that of the ambulatory and the fanfare.

• Un éléphant dans la Ville
Multidisciplinary, cultural and intergenerational creation, mixing amateurs and professionals.
In 2003, the Halles de Schaerbeek invited us to reflect on the place of children in artistic creation and to set up an event along these lines for their festival 'Les enfants terribles'. Given the success of this experiment and the potential of the elephant metaphor, we will continue the experiment in 2009, throughout the city of Liege, in partnership with a large number of Liege cultural operators.

• Reading-performance & bookshop for a night: grab your books!
Six hours of musical improvisation in interaction with the readers.
In 2018, ‘Le 140’ invites four musicians from the ‘Collectif du Lion’ for a physical and unique performance: in a cabaret atmosphere, authors - Isabelle Wéry, Laurence Vielle, Damas Geneviève, Thomas Gunzig, Myriam Leroy and many others - take up the challenge of sight-reading, accompanied by the musicians of the ‘Collectif du Lion’. Together, they walk on the delicate thread woven by the randomly chosen readings.
