In seven days of the first of the new review 2011-2012, "Crescendo", the Royal Palace in Kirrwiller continues his artistic and technological transfer to continue to be among the world elite of the music-halls.
"The public does really not know how this House is outstanding." "I have difficulty to able to quote another place in this capacity", testifies David Moore, 61 years on September 4, Director and choreographer of the new show.
Born in Africa in the South, naturalized French, after letters and theatre studies, he joined the national ballet of Africa in the South as a dancer. "Originally, I had the vocation of the Music Hall." I do not know to do something else. "Dancer spotlight at the Lido, in Paris, it is moving slowly towards the creation of performances. "When, with age, the body doesn't want you obey, it must evolve."
After the Lido, and then the direction of the Paradis Latin, he began the creation of show in 1987. A show on ice for a great hotel in Seoul, in Korea. "I currently have a review in the year to Benidorm, in the South of the Spain, explains David Moore." Pierre Meyer came to see it, and then called me and asked if I was interested Kirrwiller. I stayed mouth EER. This is an offer she couldn't refuse. »
As David Moore attended for years the Royal Palace as a spectator. "This is one of the latest houses to offer each year a new review.". Even the biggest, Paris or Berlin, do more. »
With "Crescendo", David Moore wants to prepare the future of the Music Hall. "If we did not attract young people, our businesses will be dead in ten years." However the younger generations were higher rhythm TV zapping and clips that require a faster pace and a hunting time.
The new show has five tableaus and 35 scenes. The shortest lasts 29 seconds, the longest exceed not two and a half minutes. "There will have never been as many special effects, water, fire, 3D, film requires.". The attractions are integrated with the tableaus to not slow down the show.
This need for speed has led to choose Sophie Edelstein for large numbers of illusion. The star of the jury of the program of "incredible talent", on M6, and evenings of Patrick Sébastien, is one of the few women stars world of illusion where men dominate. She arrives in Kirrwiller with her troupe and its three trailers of equipment. "When Pierre Meyer has contacted me, I came." I am placing before the empty room alone on the stage, and I felt the feeling, the magic of the Royal Palace. I said yes. "It is a sorceress who stated," its fun.
Yes all the more easy to decide that the Royal Palace opened the purse: three million euros for the production. Sophie was coming with his troupe, David with his ten collaborators and assistants. "I wanted that settings are made in Spain and the audiovisual part in Belgium." Pierre looked at specifications and agreed.
"It's the price to pay." "One cannot cheat with the Viewer, under penalty of death," said Pierre Meyer, comforted by an increase of 27 000 customers past and flattering review upcoming bookings season: 70 000 places already reserved, is 5,000 more than last year on the same date.
