An intergalactic Arcadia

​

“ (…)The thread followed by the joyous group called upon by the Théâtre du Châtelet for the staging preferred a more radical opting out in space and in time with space vessels to move the action into an intergalactic world full of manga-like comic book creatures, so everything seems less out of place than in those countless absurd pretentious operas that set the scene in antiatomic shelters. Many synthetic sound effects interrupt or superpose on the accompanying narrations. When they are integrated harmonically, the effect hits home.

Le Figaro​

“ To bring it back to life an original visual staging was no doubt necessary. There is no lunacy however; the story is told very clearly and the music is unchanged, even with the clever interruptions by the synthesizers that punctuate the narrators, with sound effects that come straight from video machines. It is all very entertaining.

Libération

Eric Loret

 

“ An amusement for all, children and grown-ups. The staging multiplies the take-offs, atomic scooters, and successful accelerations (an electric car, then a film breaking the wrong way round and there you go!). As far as we saw on the evening we were in the audience, 100% of the audience of the audience enjoyed it and applauded heartily​
