Ciné-concert – ONPL – Laurel et Hardy

The Orchestre National des Pays de la Loire meets burlesque cinema

Laurel and Hardy form a single entity, a single body divided in two, the skinny and the fat, the cunning and the clumsy, the tall and the short. Between them, they create the perfect imbalance, giving us a glimpse into the early days of American burlesque cinema with three short films shot at the very start of their careers, between 1927 and 1929. Three strokes of genius set to music by Cyrille Aufort. Here the notes fly like cream pies and we laugh ourselves to tears at the gags and clumsinesses of this shock tandem who bring silent cinema up to date. A funny, nostalgic cine-concert to open the doors to a forgotten world in which music replaces words. The orchestra’s 45 musicians give their all to recreate this world.
