Orchestre Ubuesque de Peinture Sonore
François Jeanneau - Compositions / Arrangement
Musiques et textes écrits alternent avec des constructions instantanées uniques, qui ont le goût fantaisiste et l’originalité des protagonistes.Cette fois, on vous emmène voguer sur le radeau culturel, peut-on éviter le naufrage, endiguer la dérive, retrouver un gouvernail, plutôt que de mettre les voiles… Mieux vaut en rire.
Entre les compositions de François Jeanneau et la créativité débridée de l’orchestre, un spectacle jubilatoire, et instructif !
Médusés: le radeau de la culture... parce que le Syndicat des Pagayeurs Obstinés Unis pour la Musique Joyeuse,n'a pas encore coulé !mais c est peut être son dernier voyage.
Free entrance !
