In a disadvantaged neighborhood of Los Angeles, the lives of seven young people intertwine: a delinquent in full questioning about the validity of his choices, an undocumented South American mother, an idealistic lawyer, a journalist, a policeman doubting his sexual inclinations, a family planning worker, a Don Juan preacher. An earthquake shakes the city and the crisis causes many upheavals in the destiny of these protagonists.

This story is inspired by the testimony of a survivor of the earthquake that shook Los Angeles in 1994. John Adams and his librettist were able to weave a real story with very mixed music, a subject closely affecting young people today. today, with sounds that are familiar to them in a subtle, intelligent and meaningful organization.

English

Dans un quartier défavorisé de Los Angeles, les vies de sept jeunes personnes s’entrelacent: un délinquant en plein questionnement sur la validité de ses choix, une maman sud-américaine sans papiers, un avocat idéaliste, une journaliste, un policier doutant de ses inclinations sexuelles, une employée de planning familial, un prédicateur Don Juan. Un tremblement de terre secoue la ville et la crise provoque de nombreux bouleversements dans le destin de ces protagonistes.

Cette histoire est inspirée du témoignage d’un survivant du tremblement de terre qui a secoué Los Angeles en 1994. John Adams et sa librettiste ont su tisser une histoire réelle avec une musique très métissée, un sujet touchant de près les jeunes d’aujourd’hui, avec des sonorités qui leurs sont familières en une organisation subtile, intelligente et pleine de sens.
