Les Chiche Capon - LA 432

In agreement with Ma Poule LA 432 - Les Chiche Capon - Bascala Ma Poule presents LA 432 - Les Chiche Capon (Musical comedy / Clown cabaret) Les Chiche Capon are mad, with a contagious madness that sweeps the audience along with it.

Acid-tripping, burlesque, unhinged clowns, they dedicate their 4th show to music. It's called LA 432. Working on the principle that the echo of the Big Bang is an A at 432 Hz, the reference pitch all musicians tune to, one could say the universe itself was formed in music.

There's the small, megalomaniac, authoritarian boss, the unmanageable, anything-goes character in a blonde wig, the clumsy, slow-on-the-uptake giant, and finally the real musician, who tries in vain to keep his three wild accomplices in line.

And so we're swept along on a planet-spanning musical journey.

First, within the conventional theatrical world, a parade of characters shaped by their cultures files past, from the North American forever conquering new frontiers, to the Indian overplaying his sentimental streak, via the jazzman hamming up his performance, the slam poet devoted to pataphysics, and finally THE crooner… And then, to push the musical concept to its limit, Les Chiche Capon continue the journey by forming a genuine music group: they're not really musicians, and all the better for it — their message only resonates more strongly.

As in every show by the quartet, like a good gag-filled cartoon, nothing goes as planned in the story of Les Chiche Capon, and every accidental mishap repeatedly reminds them of their universal tendency towards entropy, the great equation of the universe, the dynamics of disorder and imbalance… Somewhere between a burlesque Bollywood parody and a galactic odyssey, Les Chiche Capon promise the impossible; in an unparalleled theatrical Big Bang, they display a flamboyant, contagious, wholeheartedly embraced stupidity.
