Following on its success during ManiFeste-2016 and the festival June Events, Thomas Hauert will again inaudible, a virtuoso and jubliant creation. The choreography plays with our memory beginning with Gershwin, mocking Broadway and clichés of America. In this back-and-forth between narration and the freedom of abstraction, fragments of Mauro Lanza's synthetic masterpiece for voice can be heard, knocking over trivial, noble, and kitsch characters.
