A mysterious gentleman. A young terrorist. The eve preceding destruction. A game of cat and mouse begins. Wit, wisdom, foolishness and drama intertwine with violins, questioning injustice and violence in our world. A war of ideas between old and new, between generations and beliefs. A new work inspired by Dostoyevsky.
An International, intergenerational, interdisciplinary company: The Elsewhere Ensemble is based partly on the richness and importance of working with different nationalities, generations and artistic disciplines. This production brings together French, Swiss, Belgium, and American; musicians and actors; an actor and writer with a lifetime of experience, young artists, and everything in between. The Elsewhere Ensemble was officially created in 2012 with the concerts: Invocation and “Un tour du monde en musique” given at the summer festival at the Chateau de Machy near Lyon, France. It was officially created in 2012, but the creation of the group came out of longtime collaborations with works mixing theatre and concert, text and music. Past works include “Chekhov Triptych – three Chekhov stories in concert”, “Mozart & The Happy Prince” (words and music around Mozart and Oscar Wilde), “The Velveteen Rabbit” – a concert for children. These pieces have been performed in Paris, Lyon, New York and Boston in both French and English.
