On May 11, 1988, Luc Besson’s ‘Le Grand Bleu / The Big Blue’ was released in theaters, with a soundtrack composed by Eric Serra. To celebrate the film’s 30th anniversary, two exceptional performances took place at La Seine Musicale in 2018 (sold out).
In this show, Eric Serra and his musicians invite us to rediscover this essential work of French cinema, which they interpret on stage identically to the projection of the film, for an exceptional immersive experience.
On the soundtrack, using simple electronic sound boxes, Eric Serra manages to transcribe the atmosphere of the abyssal depths into music, with synthetic sounds that are reminiscent of whale song and create a sense of well-being.
Artists:
- Bass, vocals and musical direction: Eric Serra
- Keyboards: Julien Carton, Sébastien Cortella
- Percussion: Loïc Pontieux, David Salkin
- Guitars: François Delfin
- Saxophone: Renan Richard-Kobel
