LE BAL

Description

Play and Stories: Christine Métrailler | Light: Loclight A night in the intimate setting of the residents of a village hosting a ball! A ball like in the old days, taking place in the village barn and the event of the season. The performance begins with the telling of a Wallis legend. "Justeaucorps" is the first name of a very beautiful and free-spirited girl who evokes jealousy and envy among the villagers. Most of the stories invented by storyteller Christine Métrailler are inspired by social themes: the celibacy of priests, the pressure to remain youthful, partnerships, youth, and the emergence of romantic feelings. Echoing these narrated stories, songs awaken emotions and memories. With Bourvil and his famous "Petit bal perdu," colorful lanterns welcome guests to the ball. Additionally, there is the magnetic voice of Jacques Brel, the fiery voice of Dalida, tango melodies – "La Cumparsita" – the desperate call to women by Patrick Juvet, and a charming slow dance whispered by Joe Dassin. Come to the ball and dance if you wish, or not... just as you like!
