Operabus tour with "Adventice"

From 01 December 2024 to 15 December 2024/ France / Angerville - Manéglise - Steenwerck

Avakym, a shaman with supernatural powers, brings plants to life through his music and teaches the art of manipulating them. After being inspired by incantations, Hortens, a weed with a childish character, accumulates clumsiness and must face a threatening proliferation of wild grasses. The situation seems to turn into a disaster when Avakym comes to lend a hand to her creature...
 
Immersive show in the Operabus
 
Adventice is a musical and visual piece composed of baroque repertoire, cartoons and video installations.  The stage device brings together a cellist actor playing on stage acoustically, with a fictional character made in 3D and 2D animation. The two characters evolve in a video and sound environment that adorns the constructions of the stage sets and the room. The spectator is thus positioned at the heart of the set which will animately echo the musical narration.
 
With the idea of "taking care of the living", the play takes the form of a fairytale and enchantment, featuring varieties of common weeds. Reviving the tradition of opera librettos, through a series of tableaux, Tristan Alexandre wishes to take a look at these often "unloved" plants but also the spiritual links between Man and nature. Baroque music is the privileged link between the stage and the animation. It reminds us that sensitivity and scientific interest in plants were the subject of mannerist, naturalistic and symbolic creations.
