About
Dear Maestro,
Clouds are hovering over Rio de Janeiro, and we really need good weather for the carnival. So, with our brass instruments, we play backwards to suck up the clouds. What a job! No time to stroll in the streets!
Paco, Melanie, Alex.
The orchestra seeks and finds around the world is a musical show based on the eponymous book by Chloé Perarnau, published in 2016 by L'Agrume. Punctuated by the author's drawings and accompanied by an actress's voice, this show is the story of private detective Simone, commissioned by the conductor to find her musicians.
Upon arriving at the theater for a rehearsal, she finds only empty chairs and... a stack of postcards. The scene is set to begin an investigation around the world, paced by numerous puzzles. Using unpublished drawings created by the author during the show, Simone the detective searches for clues. During a musical stopover, the audience will in turn search for and find the orchestra's musicians and discover nearly a dozen composers and at least as many works, all of which are a discovery of repertoire, instrumentation, and styles!
