“En avant, marche!” is the second collaboration by the trio Van Laecke, Platel, Prengels – who marked up the successful production “Gardenia” in 2010. In the piece, a 30-person brass band breaches the sound barrier between genres. Light-footed and full of brazen humour, Platel, Van Laecke and Prengels play with clichés about traditional folk music – transforming the orchestra into a choreographic-musical model society of communal love and life.
