A "moujikale comedy"

In a faraway village a long long time ago, while the five moons watched over them, the impossible love affair between Raymonde Meubaz a butcher in the Rue de la Motte aux Œufs, and Adolph Moujika, a grocer, who remains open all day and night on the Aire de la Vacherie on the A12 Motorway has produced a child. During the painful birth, 5 cries were heard and a body appeared: Pad Brapad Moujika was born….and he started playing.

He is a kind of animal machine and vainly tries to communicate with us in a long-forgotten tongue. He is a ferocious beast with five soft hearts beating in him. He plays with his hands but expresses his feelings with his feet. He is always playing…everywhere…in any circumstances, against all odds, and even on the Ile de Ré, Pad Brapad just plays; he plays on the oil on the Erika, encouraging Ivan the Terrible or even just to drive his concierge, Madame Paluchin crazy. They say he arrives today at ‘Nowhere’, but one person still lives at ‘Nowhere’: the Stupid Old Witch.

This Moujikal comedy stems from the music itself, it is slightly childlike but also perverse, playful and caustic, fun and full of melancholy.

With Julie Jacovella in the role of the "Stupid Old Witch".
