Description
Then Nicolas created the company MUMOS on November 23th of 2015,
under the associative law of 1901.
MUMOS aim to bring together dancers, musicians, painters, actors and generally artists to create, stage, produce, play, represent, film and broadcast to the public artworks that link the arts and artists around the world.
Roots
The roots of MUMOS are the gathering and the meeting. Born of the union of Music and Dance, it now extends its research to all the arts and makes them unite in various creations and projects in order to share.
Sharing
The sharing of feelings, sensations, and colors through diverse cultures is the lung of the company, its way to breathe. MUMOS wishes, through this meeting of artists from different backgrounds, to exchange with the public who watch or listen to his creations.
Welcoming
MUMOS is therefore by birth, an "open" company. Due to meetings, she grows and develops by the desire to work together. We are not in a process of casting strictly speaking. We refuse to oblige artists to undertake a commitment that goes beyond the time of the " project " . It is an association that tries to make possible the universal, voluntary and unique expression by the way of Arts.
For the emerging artists
Originally created by artists entering the professional world, it is also a company offering young student artists - including those who would not be able to work (for reasons of training, commitment, etc. ) - the opportunity to create, learn, practice, share and exchange with other professionals, in other artistic forms, other ways that are more individual and personal than their training suggests.
Travel
The discovery of other cultures is one of the main values of MUMOS. Most of our creations are inspired by travels. The history, the landscapes we discover enrich our vision of the world and it is through our artistic discipline that we want to convey our impressions.
Inspiration
We are always looking for new horizons.
We are attracted by all means of artistic expressions and we move to new discoveries.
We travel for a psychological and artistic enrichment.
We strive to give an image of unity, to represent the artistic expression with a goal of sharing.
We try to do our best, but do not hesitate to create because we are determined to learn from our mistakes or imperfection.
The comments that make us evolve are the ones we read in your eyes !
Origins & Meaning
The idea of MUMOS originated in the spring of 2015.
The Lycée Racine in Paris proposes each year to its students of Terminale in arranged-time to participate in the " Concert du Lycée " , in the spring. That year, around 20 selected groups participating, 3 students decided to unite to express themselves together on this scene,
Paul-Marie Kuzma, Noam Silvy and Nicolas Fiery.
On the evening of the performance, the trio brought new life - on the stage of the amphitheater of the CRR de Musique, Rue de Madrid in the 9th arrondissement of Paris - in order to make its audience travel : color, in an original and enterprising scene, music from another culture, and Dance.
It was Tastuya Katou's original Here With You cover. Nobody knew it yet, but MUMOS was born.
The name MUMOS was defined the summer that followed, and was thought to have several meanings. However, we don't write them all to let the spectators choose the meaning they want to give the company, their personal and unique interpretations.
