Description

Wordsmith Bruno Coppens returns with a one-man show in which he composes his own "ode to joy".<div> Po-Po-Po-Pom! For this ninth installment, I drew inspiration from the one who, exactly 200 years ago, composed his ode to joy. Bruno's ode, however, celebrates words. Words he discovers in a slightly different light in 2025... New concepts and expressions have emerged, and he'll have to orchestrate them to keep up the rhythm!</div><div><br></div><div> This 9th Symfolie is both a joyous celebration and a funeral. Bruno Coppens is declaring bankruptcy: his beloved words have betrayed him! He is devastated by the harmful use of hateful words spreading "fuck news." With self-igniting words on Snapchat and TikTok, language is riddled with traps, and the world is hurtling toward a textual crash! Words live under the yoke of algorithms that have turned them into robots.</div><div><br></div><div> My 9th Symfolie is above all a useful update for everyone! Are you a boomer looking for hype so you don't get ghosted by Gen Z? If, when asked "What generation are you from?" you answer "Club Dorothée!", don't panic! So if you (also) don't get the reference and don't know what to think anymore, My 9th Symfolie is for you!</div>
