Louis Langrée, Guillaume Gallienne and Clairemarie Osta combine performing arts to honour these two masterpieces, inspired by the gallant XVIIIth century, in a show that celebrates comic spirit’s fruitfulness and freedom in genre.

For once, all the girls are in love with Polichinelle. He has to get rid of the jealous all the while saving his own romance. Concepción, on the other hand, is afflicted with lovers as disappointing as her husband, Toledo’s clockmaker.

Ravel, nicknamed the “Swiss watchmaker” by Stravinsky, created his first lyrical opus, a musical comedy magnifying the spoken words and mechanics of theatre, at the Opéra-Comique just before starting his collaboration with the Russian Ballets. It is also for these latter that, just after the war, Stravinsky accepted to draw inspiration from Pergolesi’s work. Created at the Opéra, his ballet Pulcinella launched the neoclassical period of his production.
