Red Reels Present : La Pêche’s Journey Through the Impossible
May 2, 2014 @ 7:30 pm - 10:00 pm
$10 – $15
The Red Poppy is pleased to present a unique musical extravaganza delivered by La Peche, a new group of young bay area musicians. This show will include a 30 minute introductory set, setting a relaxing and mellow mood, followed by the film screening, a Q&A, an intermission and ending with a more upbeat, dancing set. The night will be centered around George Melies 1904 silent film “Journey Through the Impossible,” and woven together by the three faces of the group’s music: the soul of traditional balkan music, the freedom of jazz, and the energy of hard rock.
These young artists bring a sound that is at the crossroads of European folkloric traditions and improvised performance. “La Pêche” is a French expression which refers to a heightened physical and spiritual state – a state which the group aims to convey with their wild improvisations, deep soundscapes and fiery compositions. Friday’s performance will be the result of a month long compositional workshop, where La Pêche will play a live original soundtrack along a projection of George Melies’ film, gifting the audience an elevated supersensory spectacle.
