PIANIST NA KOLESIH (ROLLING PIANO) (FRA)
Macadam Piano
Stage: Street theatre
Time: 07.07.2006 at 19.00
Macadam Piano is a real pianist on wheels, light, flexible, and magical. With his grand piano he wanders through the streets. The motorised* pianist plays, glides, waltzes and turns, finding its way past smiles and encounters, for the delight of children and grown ups. In his fingers are Mozart, Django, Trénet, Schubert, Kurt Weil…
Macadam Piano was born around 1900, in an unknown corner of a Magritte painting, and life was breathed into it by Alessandro Baricco and his monologue ‘Novecento, pianiste’, by the artist Michel Pastore in his Egyptien oasis, by Giuseppe Tornatore and his film ‘the pianist on the ocean ‘. The result is an instrument which isn’t fixed to the floor anymore, which can glide and drift: autonomous, fluid, open, space, movement, freedom … like a Magritte painting…
The Macadam Pianist is Jean-Louis Cortès, musician on the stage and in the studio, composer for the theatre and actor on the sideline, trained by the Conservatoires of Mulhouse and Angers, France. He has been composing music for prestigious theatres and directors for the last 20 years, including La Comédie Française in Paris.
Jean-Louis Cortès is also and above all a musician, performing on tours in France, Europe and worldwide with internationally acclaimed performers. He has also worked as a composer, arranger and producer on a wide and varied discography.
