Gosse de riche - Athénée Théâtre Louis-Jouvet (2024) - Gosse de riche - Athénée Théâtre Louis-Jouvet (2024)

Description

"The musical comedy by Falk, Bousquet and Maurice Yvain is among the masterpieces of the genre. Witty and joyful dialogues and lyrics, incisive, ironic and sometimes deliciously cruel on a score of high musical value, which knows how to combine the fox -trot with counterpoint, harmony and orchestration and a melodic vein with imperious seductions. The success of Gosse de Riche's songs was, in his time, as immense as it was lasting. Arthur Honegger said of Maurice Yvain that he was a great little master and rightly added: “Such influence over the crowd proves something and is not the work of just anyone.”

Pascal Neyron, in line with his previous Là-Haut! at the Athénée continues to infuse it with the story of laughter arising from human cruelty, burlesque, and dada: laughter at those who commit it, laughter at those who suffer it; an explosive and enjoyable read."
