La Cour des Contes festival: “Counter-visit: Other Cinderella stories”
All ages, from 9 years old
The duo offers a counter-visit to one of the best-known and one of the most poorly-known tales in the world: Cinderella.
With a fine-tuned story, rock and electro music, “Contre-Visite” offers three versions of this story: one to revive the common memory, one to say that no, you don't have to wait for your prince to come, and one to give another look at all the characters.
There were three times Cinderella...
Far from the imagery of Disney and Perrault, in rock or dreamlike versions, Grégory Allaert (music) and Pierre Delye (story) offer a tribute to this emblematic heroine, an abused little girl, abandoned until the day...
What if everything didn't depend on a fairy? What if Cinderella decided that? What if freedom was within reach of words? For their latest creation, the duo takes on a major challenge, shaking up this most famous tale, an uncompromising Counter-visit.
