DUEL, Laurent Cirade, cello & Paul Staicu, piano
Cellist Laurent Cirade and Pianist Paul Staicu

An evening of music and laugh for the whole family!
Fri, November 30 & Sat, December 1 at 7:30 PM
One of the most critically acclaimed shows of the Avignon Festival 2007, DUEL is an irresistible and hilarious performance, a remarkable standoff between two French virtuosos, cellist Laurent Cirade and a pianist Paul Staïcu.
Paul and Laurent confront each other with equal weaponry, the bow
versus the keyboard, in a delirious performance. They move effortlessly
from humor to poetry, and musical gags, combining absurdity,
friendship, complicity, cynicism and innocence, while playing an
incredible program from Bach to the Beatles. They impersonate two
universal and attaching characters, the big and the small and without
ever resorting to speech, deliver an incredible mix of musical and
hilarious comedy, crossing genres between classical music and humor a
la Laurel & Hardy. Watch!
