A LEGEND REVISITED
The Anglo-Saxon legend of Jack and the beanstalk, which Georges Dupuis put into verse and Philippe Manca set to music, reached us for the first time in 2003 as a real pop-rock musical inspired by the famous rock bands : Queen, The Who or Led Zeppelin.
A rockn roll rooster surrounded by a bevy of groupie chicks: thats the way to revisit a traditional tale ! The story hasnt changed but in this version the cow becomes an old star of the Costa Brava
With a mixture of concert and (nearly) classical narrative the writers are reviving a three centuries old story which was passed on from generation to generation by talented popular storytellers. The ogre is present and tradition duly honoured, if only a little bit shaken up.
And the children, filled with wonder, become aware of different types of music: rock, Cuban rhythms, swing or gospel, and also of the unrestrained humour of incredibly funny characters.
