composition : Stefano Gervasoni
directing : Ingrid von Wantoch Rekowski
libretto : Patrick Hahn
scenography : Laurence Bruley
lighting : Felix Lefebvre
musicians : 6 percussionists, 3 instrumentalists (flutes, horns, cymbalum), 3 baroque-contemporary singers (soprano, countertenor, baritone), 3 actors
The feast: the table
What if the percussionists’ instruments were the table? Can we envisage a show where the instruments are invisible? Can our gestures, our attitudes generate original and radical situations?
The dishes, glasses, cutlery, bottles, cooking, smells, and above all everything else will remain! On stage, six percussionists, three other instrumentalists, three singers, and three singing actors for an explosive cocktail.
It should have been an operetta or a buffa opera, in the end it will be neither or both at the same time. But we are sure it won’t be an opera.
We are reassured, we still have the surprise.
