Frank Van Laecke & Alain Platel . NTGent & les ballets C de la B

Popular, provocative, committed: this sample of contemporary musical theatre is all of these things. Together with the composer Steven Prengels, Frank Van Laecke and Alain Platel examine the brass band as a metaphor for our society, in which a variety of individuals try to keep marching in the same direction. Four actors and seven musicians are joined by a local brass band. The actors play music, the musicians act. ‘En avant, marche!’
