Théâtre de l'Adresse « Diffusion », 2 avenue de la Trillade, Avignon
Novecento never set foot on land. Born in 1900, between the Roaring Twenties and the dark years, aboard the transatlantic liner “Virginian” sailing the oceans to Boston, he was abandoned in a cardboard box and taken in by an old sailor. Come and discover the extraordinary story of Novecento, the legend of the pianist on the ocean.
There you have it: the scene is set, and what a scene!
