Fouché with Jan Decleir & Marjan De Schutter. I SOLISTI & Het Banket

After the great success of Landru, I SOLISTI and Het Banket join forces again. This time, the creators delve into the improbable but true life story of Joseph Fouché (1759-1820), the most unknown protagonist of the Franse Revolutie. Much has been written, sung, filmed, and told about that great upheaval. While Terwijl Robespierre, Marat, Napoleon, Danton, and Marie Antoinette fill the history books, Fouché always moved in their shadow. Nevertheless, he was at every moment at the center of the historical developments of his time. To new music by Frederik Neyrinck, Jan Decleir, Marjan De Schutter, the musicians of I SOLISTI, and the young soprano Hanna Al-Bender bring Fouché's story to the stage. After all, in recent years, there has been a renewed interest in that fascinating period of our history. Perhaps because we have once again ended up in an era in which our familiar society is shaking to its foundations.
