“Monsieur Croche: The Dreams of Composer Claude Debussy” by La Companyia del Príncep Totilau (Spain)

International Arts Carnival 2019

Description

Description

Monsieur Croche is dreaming during an afternoon nap. As his pillow slowly rises, he and his wife float towards a mesmerising enchanted island. Accompanied by the playful, blue-haired, horned fairy, they meet magical, giant-eyed elves, a huge insect that swallows musical notes, and have a tussle with a mermaid amid the tossing sea, as their inspirational journey draws them into the joyous world of creativity.

French 19th-century composer Claude Debussy is renowned for his atmospheric “impressionist” works. Here, Spain’s La Companyia del Príncep Totilau blends a live piano performance of Debussy pieces, including favourites Clair de Lune and Deux Arabesques No.1, with human actors and appealing puppets, large-scale video images, intriguing lighting, and rippling movement and dance to conjure up a mysterious yet exhilarating realm of discovery. An uplifting opportunity to “see” with your ears and “hear” with your eyes.
