The images recreate colorful landscapes, enamelled <span class=\"s1\">with <\/span>multiple geometric motifs inspired by Van Gogh. In this idyllic bath of a reinvented Pays de Cocagne, the marvellous meets the poetry of a life revisited at the dawn of middle age. In exploring her history, Carol has sought the essence of things.   <\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Among his sources of inspiration is the <\/span>departure of a friend whose family went into exile in another country<span class=\"s1\">, which<\/span> is part of the history of many Mauritians <span class=\"s1\">, and<\/span> which &#8220;Sur un nuage gris&#8221; evokes with the sweetness of childhood. <span class=\"s2\">The influences come <\/span>from the chanson \u00e0 texte genre, and the languages are Mauritian French and Kreol. The music is directed and arranged by Chris Arles, and the staging by Sandrine Raghoonauth. This show is a first in the lives of the artistic couple, and it will be a first for the audience too&#8230;  <\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-38493\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lagazette-mag.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/image-pour-Dominique-B.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1500\" height=\"1000\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lagazette-mag.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/image-pour-Dominique-B.jpg 1500w, https:\/\/www.lagazette-mag.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/image-pour-Dominique-B-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.lagazette-mag.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/image-pour-Dominique-B-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.lagazette-mag.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/image-pour-Dominique-B-630x420.jpg 630w, https:\/\/www.lagazette-mag.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/image-pour-Dominique-B-696x464.jpg 696w, https:\/\/www.lagazette-mag.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/image-pour-Dominique-B-1068x712.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/www.lagazette-mag.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/image-pour-Dominique-B-500x333.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.lagazette-mag.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/image-pour-Dominique-B-300x200@2x.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1500px) 100vw, 1500px\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-38508\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lagazette-mag.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/Carol-Zafer-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1440\" height=\"2560\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lagazette-mag.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/Carol-Zafer-scaled.jpg 1440w, https:\/\/www.lagazette-mag.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/Carol-Zafer-169x300.jpg 169w, https:\/\/www.lagazette-mag.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/Carol-Zafer-576x1024.jpg 576w, https:\/\/www.lagazette-mag.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/Carol-Zafer-864x1536.jpg 864w, https:\/\/www.lagazette-mag.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/Carol-Zafer-1152x2048.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/www.lagazette-mag.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/Carol-Zafer-236x420.jpg 236w, https:\/\/www.lagazette-mag.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/Carol-Zafer-696x1237.jpg 696w, https:\/\/www.lagazette-mag.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/Carol-Zafer-1068x1899.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/www.lagazette-mag.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/Carol-Zafer-1920x3413.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/www.lagazette-mag.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/Carol-Zafer-281x500.jpg 281w, https:\/\/www.lagazette-mag.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/Carol-Zafer-169x300@2x.jpg 338w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1440px) 100vw, 1440px\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-38509\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lagazette-mag.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_4632-scaled.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1440\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lagazette-mag.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_4632-scaled.jpeg 2560w, https:\/\/www.lagazette-mag.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_4632-300x169.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.lagazette-mag.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_4632-1024x576.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.lagazette-mag.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_4632-1536x864.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/www.lagazette-mag.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_4632-2048x1152.jpeg 2048w, https:\/\/www.lagazette-mag.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_4632-747x420.jpeg 747w, https:\/\/www.lagazette-mag.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_4632-696x392.jpeg 696w, https:\/\/www.lagazette-mag.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_4632-1068x601.jpeg 1068w, https:\/\/www.lagazette-mag.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_4632-1920x1080.jpeg 1920w, https:\/\/www.lagazette-mag.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_4632-500x281.jpeg 500w, https:\/\/www.lagazette-mag.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_4632-300x169@2x.jpeg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Carol Lamport knows that he is not &#8221; Zametrotar &#8220; to step out of her comfort zone and create&#8230; We know her as a singer and brilliant embodiment of the characters in G\u00e9rard Sullivan&#8217;s musicals.
