The work created by Gordon, co-produced by Lucid Realities and Les Apaches, offers the discovery of a musical creation directed by Julien Masmondet, inspired by the story of Maurice the rooster.
Initially the source of a simple neighborhood dispute, like so many others, the proud rooster was destined to bring to light the antics of the opponents in a simmering conflict between city dwellers and rural inhabitants, whether they chose to exploit, inhabit, defend, or admire “nature.”
Perceived as a nuisance by some, Maurice became a symbol of threatened rural life for others. The media, as well as the justice system, took up his case. Despite all obstacles, our rooster was acquitted, and with him, the tractors, bees, frogs, and the entire joyful symphony that accompanies them daily.
This symbolic decision paved the way for the promulgation of a law concerning the protection of the sensory heritage—sound and olfactory—of rural areas.
A law that Ça vous dérange ? chooses to pay tribute to, in order to better question its relevance and stakes in a poetic and humorous manner throughout the fabulous journey that transformed our rooster from a pest into a muse.
