TAKING to the stage with garden hoses, hammers, frying pans and axle grinders, the nine-piece French collective Zic Zazou don’t look like your usual musical troupe, but then they are not!

Formed 28 years ago, Zic Zazou’s nine ‘mechaniciens’ take everyday objects, the more unusual, strange and downright dangerous the better, and turn them into musical instruments for a truly eccentric performance that is part music, part theatre, part comedy and part engineering.

Zic Zazou perform at the Roundhouse, Camden from Tuesday, January 26 to Thursday, January 28.
