ÇA VOUS DÉRANGE ?
Virtual reality experience

Le Lavoir Numérique de Gentilly
Installation from June 12 to 14, 2026 at the Patrick Devedjian Auditorium
15-minute experience
In 2021, Les Apaches created Le Coq Maurice, inspired by a news item that occurred on the Île d'Oléron. Continuing this artistic and civic commitment, the project Ça vous dérange? adopts an on-site approach in the heart of France. Les Apaches chose to address this subject in line with the concerns of our time.
The Apaches have appropriated sounds of nature considered disruptive and sources of complaint (the crowing of roosters, the ringing of bells, the croaking of frogs) and transformed them into a musical and visual work that transports the Apache musicians into natural environments. Equipped with a virtual reality headset, the viewer/listener will be immersed in a day in the countryside, from dawn to dusk, and invited to experience the world around us in a completely new way!
After its installation at the Adrien Dubouché National Museum in Limoges and at the Rennes Opera in June and July 2024, the experience continues its tour and will be installed at the Caisse des Dépôts et Consignations (French public financial institution) for one day.
