"La Claque", Fred Radix's creative and entertaining show, returns to enchant the Gaîté Montparnasse stage until June 25, 2024. After a resounding success in its first season, this interactive musical comedy takes us back to 1895 Paris, at the heart of a theatrical adventure as hilarious as it is ingenious.
Auguste Levasseur, leader of a troupe of professional applauders, finds himself in a tricky situation when his claque fails him just before a grand opening. With the help of Fauvette, the orchestra's musician, and Dugommier, the stage manager, they must urgently form a new team of clappers. The trio has just one hour and thirty minutes to prepare the novices to applaud the key moments of a complex play with five acts, forty musicians and thirty set changes.
Fred Radix, already known for"Le Siffleur" and its 600 performances, explores with"La Claque" a little-known aspect of theater history, treating it with refined humor and a distinctive musical touch. The show has received critical acclaim for its originality and impeccable execution, earning 7 nominations at the Trophées de la Comédie musicale 2023.
