Les Sourds-Doués – “The Four Ties”

Wednesday | Excelsior Theatre

“Musical brass & wood show” The four characters evolve in a struggle as crazy and energetic as their barely concealed involvement. They explore their favourite musical worlds - classical, jazz, tango, klezmer, film music etc. -, all around Mozart, not hesitating to juggle between each with disconcerting ease and mischief, in order to desacralise the concert and lead both young and old to open their ears. How will it end? Will they manage to pull the concert off? Will the Sourds-Doués finally be able to hear themselves? Who knows, it's a long shot...
