The Well-Tuned Life of Rémy Pinson, a musical tale for the whole family at TSM
Rémy Pinson leads a very monotonous life... Each of his days is regulated the same way. In his dreary life, there is only one note, one sound. But his peaceful existence is soon shaken by the gradual arrival of music.
Théâtre Silvia Monfort (Paris 15th)
