Zazous, tomorrows that sing

The zazous, do you know them? During the Second World War, in Berlin, Brussels, or Paris, young girls and boys, provocative, romantic, and boisterous, transgressed the rules by wearing extravagant clothing and hairstyles to exasperate the occupier and scandalize the collaborators. Reckless and unruly, determined not to let their youth be stolen by terror, they punctured the tires of the Gestapo, then went off to dance swing in clandestine cellars. We are going to tell you the stories of these spoilers of the goose-step, who were a link in the resistance. Of these reckless ones who defied the curfews to go listen to the forbidden music that came straight from Harlem: jazz. Discover this astonishing social fact which, from Boris Vian to Django Reinhardt, saved a generation from fear. In a show with the look of a musical, discover these zazous, who in the middle of the war, engraved the words of the heart on the walls of hope. It’s going to rock, it’s going to sing, swing… And (perhaps) awaken the resistant who sleeps in you. _______ Staging: Patricia Ide / By: Patricia Ide and Laure Godisiabois / With: Baptiste Blampain, Bénédicte Chabot, Laure Godisiabois, Antoine Guillaume, Cédric Raymond / Assistant to the staging: Cachou Kirsch / Scenography: Renata Gorka / Costumes: Chandra Vellut / Lighting: Laurent Kaye / Choreography: Maroine Amimi / Choreography assistant: Ornella Macchia / Musical direction: Pascal Charpentier _______ A PRODUCTION OF THE THÉÂTRE LE PUBLIC.
