Artistic Residence in Gennevilliers
“Serious music has a huge issue with laughing. Being serious is so much easier. Making someone laugh is harder than making them cry,” said Mauricio Kagel.
In Variété, he opens up a poetic space tinged with nostalgia, mixing the humorous and the burlesque, theater and juggling, in which clown/juggler NIKOLAUS leads a chaotic and comical investigation. Staying in the humorous vein, Italian composer Francesco Filidei shares with us his amazing Exercices de folie featuring visual and sound effects from the performers' gestures.
