Concert : ONPL - Les Herbiers

Music - ONPL Laurel and Hardy film-concert
Tuesday 11th March - 7pm
Théâtre Pierre Barouh

Laurel and Hardy are a single entity, a single body divided in two, the skinny and the fat, the cunning and the clumsy, the tall and the short. Between them, they create the perfect imbalance, giving us a glimpse into the early days of American burlesque cinema with three short films shot at the very start of their careers, between 1927 and 1929.

Three strokes of genius set to music by Cyrille Aufort. Here the notes fly like cream pies, and we laugh ourselves to tears at the gags and clumsiness of this shock duo, who bring silent cinema up to date. A funny, nostalgic ciné-concert that takes the whole family into a forgotten world where music replaces words.

With Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy
