L'Armoire Polyphonique

Presentation

L'Armoire Polyphonique is an old cupboard forgotten by the side of a road or on the pavement of a street, on the grass of a park or deep in a forest. On its door is a sign saying ‘Open up to me’. When the door opens, the three polyphonists come to life, performing one of their compositions with joyfully anachronistic lyrics, then they close the doors again. L'armoire polyphonique is a musical impromptu, like a human-sized music box. 
This light-hearted, offbeat show features polyphonies by composer Gustave Carpene. These songs, originally performed in videos broadcast online, are modern and humorous re-visitations of early vocal music. Academic compositions with contemporary and trivial lyrics.
