About
Seventeen musicians and two actors invite you to step through the looking glass and discover different jazz styles, which they have paired up with figures from music history. Swing along to virtuoso tunes by Duke Ellington with the White Rabbit, groove to jazz-funk by James Brown as you fall down the rabbit hole. Open the door to the garden and meet the Caterpillar who is enjoying a pipe to some jazz with reggae beats! Brace yourself for a showstopping mambo from the Mad Hatter and for the Queen of Heart’s brass band. To round off, return to reality with Alice to the sound of a Count Basie-inspired blues.
Production Théâtre des Champs-Élysées
