"The staging of the opera's poor is not to consider," exclaimed Leo Ferre in 1983, but almost immediately his perspective: "There is singularly reminded the director any than it will change anything, mind and form "! Almost thirty years later, Thierry Poquet, the director, and Jean-Paul Dessy, musical director, the challenge. They meet, they say, a double motivation. First to offer a path to clarity and dramatic musical work, the pamphlet for the forces of the Night, imagination and subversion, which summarizes the diversity of themes that have haunted the poet. Then adapt the work to codes of representation today, in a version "spectacular" who calls all the theater, circus, dance, music film. In the work "total" Léo Ferré, they wanted to respond with a show "total"! And that is why this "opera" will be represented by seven actor-singers, two dancers, an acrobat, twelve musicians and a conductor.
But what is it? Night, alleged to have deleted Lady Shadow, is brought before the judge. Will scroll the prosecution witnesses, but evidence is lacking. Their many successive witnesses. And they are ultimately prevail.
A mock trial held by animals serves as a guideline to the narrative. Night, poetic, sensual, erotic, calls for the invention and drunkenness, and is reason for hope of the anarchist and poet, she is a child who has never known a law.
As for the score, it makes the alloy of music Popis most of his time, more of a jazz research, and great classical music of the early twentieth century through figures like Ravel and Faure.
"Twenty-eight years! This is the waiting time before discovering on stage, in full, the operator of Poor Leo Ferré. But Ferré everything is in this tone poem that depicts the night dragged to court for the murder of Lady Ombre.Toutes his rages, his obsessions, his flashes, green and lyrical words, the score colorful ... Beautifully rendered by the staging of Thierry Poquet that has captured the modernity of the work. [...] Super Noah's Ark that questions our societies of self-censorship, morality dusty, taboos, the dictates of thinking.
