Performing live on a wide variety of musical instruments, both traditional and bizarre, two actor-musicians demonstrate how music creates mood, tension and atmosphere as they accompany and appear in custom-made films. Perceptions of scenarios – romantic situations, pursuits, manga and musical comedy – are altered by varying musical arrangements. Audiences will come away from this playful, gently humorous show, not only amused and entertained, but with a new perspective on the power of music.
Two musicians from Zic Zazou, Jean-François Hoël and Hervé Mabille, and a filmmaker, Christine François, offer a poetic and cinephile show that returns to the reverse and right side up question of music and image.
Full Price: £12 | Concession: £10 | Family: £32. Concession for French Institute members, under 18, students, registered unemployed people and disabled people (free for carers)
