Les personnages abordent des thèmes universels comme la vie, l’amour et la mort. Ce qui les réunit, tout en les confrontant, est un amour partagé du vaudeville(1) et de la comédie musicale. L’alchimie entre les deux personnages qui se consacrent corps et âme au spectacle, dévoile au fur et à mesure une nouvelle couche de significations. En fait, le thème d’OPENING NIGHT est le suivant: réussirez-vous à revendiquer votre petite place dans le monde, en toute modestie et sans regrets?

(1) In a typical Vaudeville show (1880-1930), ten to fifteen numbers followed each other: song, dance and comedy routines, animal, magic and circus acts...The success of Vaudeville, in comparison to other types of theatre like Variety, Burlesque or Music Hall, came from its engagement to offer wholesome entertainment for the whole family. During Vaudeville’s golden age, sumptuous, modern palaces of consumption were built where the show turned day and night. The American concept of mass entertainment was born.
