Guerre et paix

Very short piece for an adult audience

With his legendary sharp wit, Loup bleu revisits a classic of Russian literature. He chronicles the passionate struggles and torments of a people at war; a war where winter is also an enemy to be fought. He shares his thoughts on love, on life away from the battlefields, and on History as seen through Leo Tolstoy’s eyes. This is a tale that questions the freedom of action of heroes and of great men, where luck plays a pivotal role. An irreverent adaptation by Louis-Dominique Lavigne, with a little help from Loup bleu.
