The performers play with traces of the past as one might invent a ritual\u2014nostalgic and festive all at once.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As always, music is at the heart of it all. Much like memory\u2014layered, preserved, interwoven with both logical and serendipitous connections\u2014this new creation explores a wildly eclectic repertoire. With their signature flair, L\u2019orchestre d\u2019hommes-orchestres stitches together a patchwork theatre of impulses, embracing our inheritances full-heartedly and toasting what\u2019s to come.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&gt;&nbsp; <a class=\"wp-colorbox-vimeo cboxElement\" href=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/1112943752\">Vid\u00e9o<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<br>\n\n\n\n<p>Design and musical direction:&nbsp;L\u2019orchestre d\u2019hommes-orchestres and guest performers<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Accomplice of All Permissions:&nbsp;Laurence Brunelle-C\u00f4t\u00e9<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Performance:&nbsp;Bruno Bouchard, Jasmin Cloutier, Simon Elmaleh, Beno\u00eet Fortier, Philippe Lessard-Drolet, and Danya Ortmann<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sound Design:&nbsp;L\u2019orchestre d\u2019hommes-orchestres and Fr\u00e9d\u00e9ric Auger<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lighting Design:&nbsp;Philippe Lessard-Drolet<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Texts and Music:&nbsp;Charles Aznavour, Henri Bauchau, Bertold Brecht, John Benson Brooks, Irving Berlin, Laurence Brunelle-C\u00f4t\u00e9, Peter Cornelius, Harold Courlander, John Dryden, Hans Eisler, Ahmet Ertegun, Christopher Fishburn, Louise Fortin, Porter Grainger, Butch Hawes, Screamin&#8217; Jay Hawkins, Caspar Henderson, Chris Isaak, Nehemia \u201cSkip\u201d James, Sylvie Lalibert\u00e9, F\u00e9lix Leclerc, Nadine Lizotte, Betty Nelson, Elthea Peale, Pierre Perrault, Henry Purcell, Jean-Baptiste Rameau, Everett Robbins, Marcel Stellman, Myriam Suchet, Anne Sylvestre, Georgian Traditional, \u00c9lise Turcotte and Tom Waits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Arrangements:&nbsp;L\u2019orchestre d\u2019hommes-orchestres<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sound and Technical Direction:&nbsp;Fr\u00e9d\u00e9ric Auger<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lighting Operation:&nbsp;Laurie Foster<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Assistant to Stage Direction:&nbsp;Jeanne Th\u00e9berge<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Photos:&nbsp;Caroline Gr\u00e9goire et Jacynthe Carrier<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Video: Alexandre Berthier<\/p>\n\n\n\n<br>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"color: #999999;\">Project supported by Canada Council for the Arts, Conseil des arts et des lettres du Qu\u00e9bec and Entente de d\u00e9veloppement culturel MCC-Ville de Qu\u00e9bec.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In a fragmented room, memories come to light and take shape.
