The Grand Pocket Orchestra in Neufchâteau in the Vosges
The Grand Orchester de Poche (GOP) is a trio of clowns passionate about the ukulele. They want to restore the nobility of this little instrument that is so often mocked. For them, the love of the ukulele is immense and the pleasure of being present is enormous. Tuesday is the big night of their first recital: a concert that turns into a disaster to the great pleasure of the spectator. Indeed, the blunders of the three musicians will quickly bring the concert into joyous, unbridled chaos. In a sensitive and lively staging, the very embodied GOP has invented a rigorous genre like classical, unbridled like music hall. An atypical trio, with impeccable technique, as crazy as it is virtuoso.
