Laurel and Hardy

Show & Culture

Two films, two musical universes for this film concert evening focusing on slapstick cinema. The contemporary chamber music of the duo Phébus accompanies Laurel and Hardy, who face a zany move in "The Music Box" (Le déménagement), while for "Two Tars" (V’la la flotte), the jazz fusion quartet ExTENSIONS puts music to the duo's antics in a massive traffic jam escalating into a chase. Revolving around themes of failure, perseverance, and the absurd, the music interacts with the images, emphasizing rhythms and opening new emotional spaces.
