Cancre – Je veux voler
Direction : Pauline Bricout
Release : January 7th 2026
It is the story of a group driven by a permanent tension between the moment and the infinite, a desire for elevation that goes beyond the framework of the stage to touch something larger, almost metaphysical. It is the story of a trio who advances carried by the crowd, absorbing its collective breath, feeding on it to the point of trance. At each concert, this raw energy acts as a motor, a trigger, allowing the group to detach itself from the ground, to tear itself away from the gravity of reality.
The time of the piece then becomes a malleable material. A few minutes stretch, expand, seem to contain hours of lived intensity. In this suspended space, the rock group finally finds the momentum necessary to accomplish its deep desire: to fly away, if only for an instant, and touch the idea of eternity that it pursues. The composition, crossed by a hint of electronic sounds, accentuates this feeling of floating. Each member of the trio rises individually, while remaining linked to the others, in a common movement towards the light. A symbolic light, almost abstract, which embodies hope, the hope that we can sense at the end of the tunnel, fragile but tenacious.
The clip accompanies this inner trajectory with alternating fragments of life. The backstage images reveal the wait, the concentration, the gestures repeated before the decisive moment. Wandering through a port city introduces an open, moving space, between land and sea, conducive to escape. The live sessions, for their part, capture the fusion between the group and its audience, this moment when boundaries fade.
Between sound check, journey to the concert hall, moments of relaxation and nocturnal wandering on the roofs, each sequence participates in this quest for escape. It is these interstices, these moments on the margins, which offer musicians the possibility of extracting themselves from everyday life and flying. The jumps then become symbolic gestures: jumping into the crowd, total abandonment to the collective; jumping from the roof of a building, challenging the void; jump into a swimming pool, liberating immersion. So many images of the same race towards a better tomorrow, where the momentum, more than the destination, already constitutes a victory.
About Cancre “Je veux voler” :
Directed by Pauline Bricout, she confides that “(her) credo (is to) generate emotion. Always narrative, surreal and aesthetic, the clips that I produce have a recurring central theme: Destiny. Systematically living between confinement and freedom, the protagonists are irremediably attracted by their bittersweet fates”
About Cancre :
Klet Beyer, from Morlaix, met Brest-based bassist Mathias Millasseau in a Breton-language rock band. When Robin Millasseau (guitarist and backing vocalist for the 2017 version of Craftmen Club) returned to Brittany, the two brothers decided to play with Klet, forming “Wicked” in 2013, with a garage rock sound and English lyrics. After receiving support from Eric Digaire, a member of the Brest band Matmatah, the trio renamed themselves “Cancre” and have been singing in French since 2020.
