Zobar is a theatrical adaptation of the eponym film by Emil Loteanu (after a novel by Maxim Gorky). The play was directed by Monica Tracke. It includes many musical moments. Most songs are from the film. They are sung in Romanes (Gypsy language). I helped during the creation of the play with some translations and advice on the musical arrangements.
I also accompanied the play on stage (kaval flute, bouzouki, melodica) for 4 of the dates at Théatre de Ménilmontant, together with Romain Leblanc (guitar) and Estelle Amy de la Bretèque (vocals, percussion).
After a break, Monica’s Zobar was rewritten and continued its own route, with more performances planned for 2015.
