Long Version

In the form of a co-operation between stage-directors Jean-Philippe Clarac and Olivier Deloeuil, light- designers Rick Martin and Christophe Pitoiset, videographer Jean-Baptiste Beïs, graphic-designer Julien Roques, dramatic advisor Luc Bourrousse and artistic assistant Lodie Kardous, this team is exploring the world of multidisciplinary productions under the joint motto: opera, musical-theatre and concert as a tool for checking out what is topical at present.

The creative work by Clarac-Deloeuil > le lab is never interested in the chosen piece only, but also in the political and social settings of the performance. In a production by Clarac-Deloeuil > le lab, the audience always gets fully involved.
