Co-presented by Opéra Comique and Festival d’Automne à Paris
With the support of agnès b.

In a quasi-anthropological approach to vernacular cultures, as acted and observed in large popular events, this two-part documentary of a particular kind merges a yearly ritual in Orléans with a hot-dog competition. And the monstrous consumerism of “Eat all that you can eat” combines with the patriotism of a Joan of Arc in armor, parading on horseback in front of a McDonald’s in a provincial town.

Picture a day like this, the fourth opera by two master-craftsmen, one of words, the other of sound, Martin Crimp and George Benjamin, is a universal tale which is as unreal as it is full of emotions. The piece is a magical fable about human nature and self-discovery.
