Novecento

Adapted by Cie Le Magnifique Théâtre from Alessandro Baricco’s novella, Novecento is a maritime fable directed by Julien Schmutz. Actor Michel Lavoie embodies the narrator while pianist-composer Max Jendly conjures nightly jazz waves that shape the piece’s soundworld. The staging transforms stage into ship, where music becomes horizon and memory, blending poetic storytelling and live piano improvisation. The production favours a dreamlike, suspended atmosphere that explores solitude, belonging and the liberating force of music.

In French.
