AU FOU !

To celebrate Maurice Ravel's birthday, Les Apaches present "Au fou!", a scandalous concert. It is the Ravel of the Apaches, innovative and audacious, that we will celebrate. The one who, with his Apache friends, participated in the revolutions of their time and did not hesitate to provoke scandal, take a stand, and elicit surprise and incomprehension from the public and the establishment with impertinence and provocation, but always with elegance and a boisterous gaiety.
