Les deux pêcheurs

About

Baritones Igor Bouin and Romain Dayez revive their comic duo in a refreshing lyrical-aquatic farce. They take up Les Deux Pêcheurs, an operetta by Jacques Offenbach, blending into it works by other composers (Maurice Ravel, Francis Poulenc, and Camille Saint-Saëns) as well as French chanson. The aim is a show entirely devoted to fishing yet open to musical cross-pollination: opera, operetta, and chanson. Designed for ages 6 and up, the production runs a concise one hour. The staging embraces an "aquatic comedy" aesthetic.
