The music of Cantate grise, inspired by readings of the complete works of playwright Samuel Beckett, is a tribute to this pillar of 20th century literature, and attempts to reflect his lucidity, asceticism, fraternal spirit and his very paradoxical “joie de vivre.”
Music for a fanfare of 6 musicians as well as a choir of actors, Les Ubs is to be a friendly nod to Alfred Jarry and the paraphysical spirit, from Érik Satie to Boris Vian. A violent satire of the human flaws.
With Luna-Park 1913, the power of imagination is at the forefront. This music is an evocation of those uproarious years which preceded the Russian Revolution; it is an hommage to inventors, or “patenteux” as we say around here. The creation of Luna-Park 1913 also saw the founding of the trio Les Patenteux du Québec, which consists of Jean Dérome, René Lussier and Pierre Tanguay.
