Vade Retro" recital

Polyphobic recital, by the "Petites Cruautés" duo

Thwarting our fears? Quite a programme!

We're going to play with it...

Fear of speaking or loving, fear of others, fear of the future, old age or death... From the most intimate to the most universal, from the most ordinary to the craziest, our fears form bunches of thorns on the winding paths of our secret gardens...

Fierce, tender and often funny, we've put together a gallery of characters prey to their worries. Whether they give in to them, defend themselves against them or overcome them, they offer us a timeless yet highly topical kaleidoscopic mirror of our own doubts, unavowable desires, strategic retreats and attempts to ward off fate...

Figures that are touching or grotesque, frightened and sometimes frightening... human, always! Because as we wade through these troubled waters, it's all about love, desire and Life itself.

On the menu for this polyphobic recital, you'll be able to enjoy songs and texts that we've never performed before, as well as a few gems from the French chanson repertoire (Brel, Rezvani, Nougaro, Juliette, Gainsbourg, Trenet...).

Come and enjoy the thrills, laughter and chills of a tragicomic and uniquely polyphobic stroll!
