The Foam of the Days
by Boris Vian / with Béatrice de la Boulaye
Recommended for families, ages 13 and up
Chick, Colin, and Nicolas are in love with love. Colin meets Chloé, they get married, but Chloé falls ill: a water lily grows in her lung. And the foam of the days can’t change a thing…
From this famous novel by Boris Vian, capable of reviving the fevers and carefree spirit of adolescence, Béatrice de La Boulaye has created a performance with a purely musical theatricality, written like a jazz band. Her score plays a three-time “swing” cleverly performed by actors and a sound artist dressed in papier-mâché costumes, straight out of a Playmobil box or a cartoon.
In adapting the untamable novel, Béatrice de La Boulaye succeeds in her endeavor and offers a delightful, multicolored nod to crisis and gloom.
