Fabrizio Cassol, Alain Platel & Rodriguez Vangama (Comédie de Genève)
In “Coup Fatal”, an orchestra of 13 musicians from Kinshasa, conducted by Rodriguez Vangama, draws inspiration from the baroque repertoire of several composers. Congolese countertenor Serge Kakudji selected the arias, and the original music is enriched by the diversity of the musicians. Starting with the vocal parts, a new contemporary universe is recreated in terms of sound and image. This new music is a natural and exuberant fusion of baroque phrases, traditional and popular Congolese music, rock and jazz.
An artistic feast that transcends musical genres into a fascinating experience.
