Les Incrédules

A woman receives a telephone call announcing her mother’s death at the very moment she walks through the door. From this absurd situation, Samuel Achache, Sarah Le Picard, Florent Hubert, and Antonin Tri-Hoang have created an opera in which the improbable and the tragic meet. Believing that doubt is what keeps us alive, the director and his troupe look at existence as a bad detective novel we keep reading out of curiosity. Known for their shows that blend theatre and music, they go all out in Les Incrédules, with its fifty-two-piece orchestra that includes a saxophone, accordion, percussion, and a mysterious instrument designed to create musical randomness. 

أنشأ صامويل عشاش وفرقته، أوبرا حيث تتعايش المأساوية مع اللامعقول، وتجمع ممثلين، ومغنيين، وأوركسترا مؤلف من 52 موسيقي.
