Grand Fracas
issu de rien.
Cabaret spectral.

2011 — 1h20

Collective creation by Théâtre du Peuple, based on a concept by Pierre Guillois. Digital creation by Adrien M & Claire B.

An actor, verbal clown juggling with words, a coloratura soprano on the brink of hysteria, a drummer with the world at his fingertips, a gymnast defying the laws of gravity, and an electronic juggler taming a thousand balls. The words of Valère Novarina, and the music of Henry Purcell, Charles Gounod and Leonard Bernstein. All stirred with new technologies in a disrupted reality, results in a delicate yet rough deconstruction for a “new cabaret” performance of breath-taking poetry.

This project is no longer distributed.
