Bon matin, Adolf

Dominique Bassal

Programme notes

Here’s a fine demonstration of elected psychopaths’ complete incompetence, their power too, and the passive stupidity of the majority: to arm highly unstable Nazis in the hope of using them to strike down communism, see them fail, then slaughter them in a single, long, uninterrupted nightmare. And then we drew inspiration from this stellar failure to do the exact same thing with other crazy people, in various places, especially in countries we didn’t like.

Dominique Bassal [English translation: François Couture, iv-24]


Bon matin, Adolf [Good Morning, Adolf] was realized from 2018 to 2021 at the composer’s studio in Montréal (Québec).
