Raphaël - Karaoké - Tournée

Duration: 1h20 “Does a scorpion abandon its shell for the night?

” — Again and again, the same dream... Going on stage unprepared, what do you do in that case? — A karaoke, the AI replies. It's your only chance. A backing track of a popular hit starts up at full volume, then cuts out: Sorry, you do not have the rights for this song...

Karaoké is not an ordinary concertIt is a free, hypnotic form, of great formal daring. A labyrinth where Raphaël loses himself among his songs, ghostly covers and the voice of an omniscient artificial intelligence.

On stage, four musicians and an actress, but also mental images rising to the surface, illusions, and a karaoke session that turns into a nightmare. The audience witnesses an inner journey: childhood memories, family ghosts, invoking Bowie or Johnny, real and imaginary crashes.

The show swings between humour and vertigo, poetry and technological satire. Here, the songs are doors that open onto other worlds. A total show, musical and visual, where the truth appears between the words behind the superimposed screens.

And where, perhaps, the only solution is to dare to let go of one's shell.
