Joue à Tom Waits
L'Orchestre d'hommes-orchestres
Hydro-Québec Auditorium
Le Diamant is celebrating the 20th anniversary of Quebec City’s collective of unruly artists, L’orchestre d’hommes-orchestres, and its show Joue à Tom Waits. It’s the perfect way to welcome audiences back to Le Diamant!
The universe of Tom Waits opens up just like an apple under a sharp knife when an orchestra of busy multi-instrumentalists play his compositions on found objects and invented instruments. In lively scenes, the musicians play in front of each other and above each other. They switch voices, put their feet in their mouths, throw wrenches in the works and find themselves in dangerous situations.
