Later, as the play toured France, scandals, insults, and rapturous critiques followed in debates and on social media. Beyond this uproar surrounding anti-Semitism and the battle between Sartre and Céline, this play inadvertently leads us into a reflection on the movements of ideas and a meditation on our human condition, “man reigning over his 10,000 years of civilization acting on paramecium reflexes,” says Bernard Cavanna. A l’Agité du bocal is an essential play in today’s France, where speech, especially political speech, is muzzled in the arts. This piece of music is bold and raw. The words are thrown, spat, vomited. Insults directed at Sartre. Insults directed at Céline. Insults directed at Cavanna. Beyond everything, beyond the noise, remains the beauty of the music. The music that Cavanna delivers with a barbaric organ, cymbalum, and bagpipes, and with tenors who shout and bellow. Delphine de Blic The film, “Le caillou dans la chaussure” (a phrase by Emile Brami regarding the paradoxical admiration he holds for Céline) is masterful in its editing, composed of concert excerpts, behind-the-scenes footage where the Ars Nova ensemble performs Cavanna's work, the ensuing discussions (numerous and passionate), various comments including those from Cavanna himself, as well as, in overlay, viewpoints and reactions regarding the work, the appropriateness of its conception, and insults directed at the composer because, at the heart of the matter, it is also a question of insults.","brand":"Ars Nova","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58000444162392,"sku":null,"price":20180901.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0898\/4943\/0360\/files\/3341348159430.jpg?v=1787092528","url":"https:\/\/vinyles.com\/en\/products\/ars-nova_a-lagite-du-bocal-le-caillou-dans-la-chaussure-digipack-inclus-dvd_2018","provider":"Vinyles.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
