An evocative concert-homage exploring the songs and spirit of Frank Sinatra and Louis Armstrong. A tight ensemble reimagines iconic standards such as “Fly Me to the Moon” and “What a Wonderful World”, blending jazz phrasing, brass warmth and intimate vocal interpretation. The programme balances faithful nods to the originals with fresh arrangements that highlight swing, nuance and emotional resonance, inviting listeners into a warm, sophisticated evening of classic American song.
Claudine (j’aime pas l’bonheur) is a re-creation by Marjolaine Minot that probes the ambivalence of happiness through intimate theatrical language. The piece blends restrained physicality and lyrical monologue to map memory, longing and domestic disquiet. Minimal scenic devices and attentive sound design carve spaces of emotion, while a small ensemble negotiates shifts between humour and melancholy. The production favours fragile gestures and precise rhythms to evoke an uneasy, poetic atmosphere.
