The singular life of a prodigious pianist to the rhythm of the waves. A sensitive tale where words give birth to music. A theater of the spoken word combining humor and emotion. After A. Baricco, by Cie Vertigo, directed and performed by Fred Tournaire.
Straddling the two world wars, the transatlantic Virginian crisscrossed the ocean, touching the shores of Europe and America. A musician accompanied the travelers and emigrants on their crossings. He performed every evening. He was an extraordinary jazz pianist, capable of playing music never heard before, wonderful music... T.D. Lemon Novecento, was born on the Virginian in 1900. He spent his entire life aboard the ship, never finding the courage to go ashore. He learns to play the piano, and is nourished by music and travelers' tales. He lives suspended between his piano and the ocean, recounting the soul of the world in his strange, magnificent music.
