Novecento

7 – 31 July 2021 at 9h

Théâtre de l'Adresse « Diffusion », 2 avenue de la Trillade, Avignon

An extraordinary voyage. The legend of the pianist on the ocean.

He really was the greatest. We played music; he was something else. He played, OK?

So says Tim Tooney. He tells us the extraordinary story of his friend Danny Boodman T.D. Lemon Novecento.

This text is halfway between a real play and a tale to be read aloud. The poetry, the words of Alessandro Baricco…

“You’re never really done for as long as you’ve got a good story and someone to tell it to.” “Fred Tournaire (tremendous) slips wonderfully into the skin of Tim Tooney.” Midi Libre

“A sober, intelligent staging and an excellent actor. And the magic works. Hats off.” L’Avis culturel

“We laugh readily, but above all it is a true delight of travel and poetry.” T.L.
