Town Musicians of Bremen

concert-performance

Our play about the Town Musicians of Bremen is, in fact, an illustrated book, complete with music: four musicians will play contemporary children's poems put to music. The 25 songs were written by Béla Ágoston, who often calls himself a “music-approacher”. The colourful shadows, bidimensional shapes, and static and dynamic images were created by graphic artist Gabriella Makhult. Only a few songs refer to the past life of the musicians – the donkey, the cat, the dog and the rooster –, otherwise, we can see them as grown, fulfilled town musicians of Bremen – I mean, of Oradea. Csacsi Karcsi became a bass player, Kukori Kázmér plays the clarinet, and Bleki-Blöki Balambér does vocals and plays the guitar.  Imola Miu-Miu is the singer in the band. The show aims to present the poems of 21 poems in an interesting way. The animation that goes along with the text doesn't only illustrate them, but also takes the poems' message further. The musical play richly illustrated with pictures is recommended for children and adults alike, ages 6 and above.
