Jazz Box – Cécile Léna

By intuitively building models, the scenographer invents stories as she goes along to populate them. Then she invites the spectators to enter these spaces without actors and let themselves be lulled, astonished and moved by stories told in voice-over. Already welcomed during the 2022 edition, it returns to Paris in the summer to present a new installation: Jazz Box, a dive into the history of jazz in eight acts, illustrating as many major emblematic trends of the genre: New Orleans, swing, bop or hard-bop. Standing in their box, in the secrecy of the polling booth, each visitor, headphones on, embarks on an intimate and musical tour. When a song begins, a new demo is revealed, revealing a new, delicate and powerful universe. Cécile Léna comes to upset our five senses, shake our perceptions and reveal us to our humanity. Good trip…
