Les Flâneurs Volants have taken it upon themselves to rewrite The Tempest as a musical.
The Last Tempest of Jacques starts with romantic songs from France and Italy before sending hapless hero Jacques on an escapade down the east coast of the Americas. Along the way the band takes in the boot stomping music of Louisiana, the joyous sounds of Mexico, the pulsing rhythms of Brazil and the sensuous tangos of Argentina.
This is almost WOMAD in a single show!
Jacques leads a merry band of 6 musicians playing all the instruments you would expect in those exotic destinations...& some!
Music, comedy & pathos rolled up in a big tortilla!
