FRANCAIS

La dernière tournée de Chopin se déroule en Écosse en 1848, un an avant sa mort. Ce n'est pas la période la plus heureuse de sa vie. Il sait qu'il va mourir, sa relation avec George Sand est terminée, son père est mort quatre ans plus tôt et il n'apprécie ni sa compagnie ni les circonstances actuelles.

C'est l'histoire de sa vie à travers sa musique et ses sentiments.

C'est une tentative d'humaniser le génie, de donner un aperçu de la personne qu'il était. La pièce explique son éducation, sa famille, l'importance de la Pologne, ses amitiés et ses amants, sa lutte contre la maladie, ses conflits et ses épreuves.  Un aperçu du type de vie qu'il menait.

Aujourd'hui encore, il reste une figure romantique et cette pièce explore les relations avec les femmes dans sa vie.

Phil Aughey joue du piano et récite l'histoire de Chopin.

Il s'agit d'une pièce émotionnelle qui donne un aperçu de ses sentiments.
