The Triplets of Belleville: Chasing the Old Swing

Join a nostalgic journey back to the swinging jazz sounds from the exciting streets of Paris and New York in the 1920s and 30s. Canadian guitarist and composer Benoît Charest steps on stage to lead Le Terrible Orchestre de Belleville in a revival cine-concert of the acclaimed animated film The Triplets of Belleville.

About the Film

The award-winning animation tells the bizarre fantasy of a young, overweight Tour de France cyclist who is kidnapped by mysterious henchmen and taken to a bustling metropolis. The rescue chase begins when his near-sighted grandmother and faithful dog follow his trail and are taken in by a trio of eccentric jazz divas.

Praised as one of the most high-profile French films, The Triplets of Belleville has taken European and North American cinemas by storm. Directed by renowned animator Sylvain Chomet, the movie was nominated for two Academy Awards for Best Animated Feature and Best Original Song.

The Live Experience

Having composed the original score, Charest leads a remarkable cast of musicians who excel at playing a string of instruments—from trumpet and trombone to accordion and drums. The band recreates the witty, retro tone suitable for this black comedy projected on the big screen. Jazz and animation lovers are in for a unique visual and musical treat.
