MEDERIC COLLIGNON/YVAN ROBILLIARD «SUR UN AIR DE VIAN»

Boris Vian by his hymn to life calls the world into question, he shakes up the verb, shakes up the music, deludes language with an offbeat freshness. Médéric Collignon, who also plays the little trumpet, obviously had to pay tribute to him, they are from the same family!

Here is what Médéric Collignon said about this show: “It was with great difficulty that I had to choose songs and poems from the ‘Prince of Saint-Germain-Des-Prés’. I must have shaken up some of the meaty work of 83 texts. We try with my double Yv (i) an Robilliard to manipulate the different facets of the parallel or inverted world of Vian: Il oublia d’oublier d’oublier », « L’anguille », « L’évadé », « J’suis snob », « Quand j’aurai du vent dans mon crâne »…On stage, Yvan is the silent author with explosive harmonies and luminous flights, and I am on my side the manipulactor, the electrified trumpeteer who sells the wind in a jazz bath. We inhabit your free time. Hang your hearts on your seats, we’ll square! “.
