Are animals musicians? Are musicians animals? Did Camille Saint-Saëns want to give us an answer, through sounds and senses? Ten musicians from the Ensemble 2e2m carry out the investigation, led by a guardian, Captain Nemo (= 'No one'), at the head of a strange Noah's Ark. You wouldn't have seen my cat by chance? My porcupine? My elephant? With new leads explored by Jacques Rebotier, Jonathan Pontier and even Franz Biber.
