WHO STOLE THE...JAZZ!
Theater play
11h00 e 19h00
"Who stole the... Jazz!" is a unique show resulting from the partnership between Associação Sons da Lusofonia and Produções Fictícias and designed for the whole family.
In an idea by Carlos Martins (Sons da Lusofonia) with original text by João Nunes (Produções Fictícias), themes such as Limehouse, Prelude to a Kiss, Shaw Nuff (Charlie Parker), So what (Miles Davis), Impressions (Coltrane) or Lonely Woman are recovered and travels between personalities and terms as vast as “cool jazz”, “west coast”, “hard bop”, “the third stream”, “soul jazz” or “free jazz”.
The most fun way to enter the world of jazz.
Someone stole the Jazz! Between clues, evidence, witnesses and suspects, the task is complicated enough to be the target of investigation. With humor, irreverence and above all a lot of music, “once upon a time... jazz” is an introduction to jazz and a journey through its history led by a Detective and his Assistant. This short story told by an actor and a small band, in the form of a police investigation, is, for the youngest, an excellent introduction to the magic of Jazz: short songs, with infectious rhythms and virtuoso soloists; for connoisseurs, the opportunity to remember some of the most important themes that marked the great music of the 20th century.
It debuted in 2003 as part of the Festa do Jazz in Teatro São Luiz, was on stage at the CCB in 2009 and is now returning again.
