Fiddler on the roof
If I were a rich man!

Libretto: Joseph Stein
Music: Jerry Bock
French version: Stéphane Laporte
Direction and choreography: Jeanne Deschaux

French version of the American musical by Joseph Stein and Jerry Bock, which became a Broadway classical of the sixties.

Based on Sholem Aleykhem's novel "Tevie the Milkman", this comedy puts on stage the various characters of a village somewhere in Russia, at the beginning of the twentieth century. A match-maker, a rabbi, a butcher, a Bolshevik, as well as all the other inhabitants of the village intervene in the life of Tevie, whose three main concerns in life are: how to make a living, how to marry his daughters, and how to make sure God will not take offense for all the liberties he takes with the tradition and the religion.

NEW ALBUM 

Talila Mon yiddish blues
(My Yiddish blues)

This album takes you where you did not expect to be. Those who think that a Yiddish song must be accompanied by klezmer music will be lost. We wanted to get rid of the "post-card" image by being ourselves: musicians living in Paris and being under influence of different traditions.

Teddy Lasry made the arrangements with his background of a jazz musician but also integrating the tradition of Hassidic melodies. Because Jewish music is exactly this: an art of mixing different genres, from a rumba to the musicals of New York.

This CD is also a book, where Talila, in 22 short stories, tells her life of a daughter of Polish Jews who choose to immigrate to France.

Album available starting on April 6

The 7:40 train 
and other railway tales
A family show (from the age of 7 to 107)

Immersed in Yiddish culture and Klezmer music, this musical tale is the last creation of the French-Israeli artist Alain Karpati.

During about a quarter of a century Benjamin Wolff worked as a musician on bard of the Orient-Express train. This musical tale follows the different railway adventures along the route between London, Paris and Istanbul. During that time Benjamin Wolff recorded on a tape-recorder his most interesting adventures as well as surprising music. Using this "black box," which crossed the twentieth century, Alain Karpati tells the stories and plays the music, using his clarinet, his voice, and a number of other devices.

Alain Karpati, musician and story-teller
Thanks to his training as an actor-story teller and as a musician playing multiple instruments, Alain Karpati specialized in shows that combine tales and music. His great interest is to tell the stories with... or without words.  As a soloist or in company of other musicians, he plays with space and time to crate powerful memories. Mostly known through the two great  Klezmer groups of the French stage:  Le Grand Klezmer and  Les Klez Têtes, he is a story teller, a clarinetist and the founder of the two groups.
