L'orchestre d'hommes-orchestres Performs Tom Waits

Hailing from Quebec, this troupe is gloriously mad.

Overview

Hailing from Quebec and pairing choreographed chaos with the "fractured rhythms, black humour and gleeful surrealism" of Tom Waits' music, L'orchestre d'hommes-orchestres are gloriously mad.

The four-man troupe are accompanied by the deadpan duo the New Cackle Sisters, in a show that emphasises vaudeville and cabaret elements with a chaotic slapstick sensibility. Waits' work takes on new form, from gravel-voiced and louche, to an eccentric offering with vim and vigour. Surrounded by detritus and found objects, their stage presence is infectious as they play with various objects- bellows, spaghetti, a tin bath, balloon powered-melodica.

This wacky, unimaginable interpretation is a hit you'll not want to miss.
