Symphonic Flock is an outdoor performance that invites the audience to graze alongside Moon Ribas and Quim Girón, who act as both shepherds and performers of the piece. Each audience member carries a speaker, like an electronic cowbell, so the sound of the performance is in constant motion thanks to the movement of the spectators, who together with the performers form and deform choreographies for each scene.

Joan Cot, musician and the soul of the entire orchestra formed by the audience, manipulates the whole sonic universe created only from different voices. Symphonic Flock is a habitat, a community, an instrument, a ceremony… It is an invocation of the gregarious instinct and the animal nature within the human being.
