Every person has a special song, which may remind them of their childhood, their home country, their travels or even a wedding, a christening, a funeral, etc. Songs that everybody knows but which seem somehow to belong to just us, and that is jealously kept. With the company Oh! Oui…, Lyon locals of all origins will create short music interludes and play the songs that accompanied them in their lives.
“Composer Gustav Mahler used to say that he always had a sad little merry-go-round melody in his head… At Les Subsistances, we will try to find together, in our own way, our little merry-go-round music… This will be a musical theatre show, made of four pieces, centred around songs, words, and memories, even if one can’t sing, even if the only things one knows how to do is sing, and if one prefers to stay silent…"
