September 1996Die menschliche Komödie. Die großen Romane und Erzählungen
Vetter Pons. Roman
by Honoré Balzac, Eberhard Wesemann, Franz Franzius
Die künstlerische Geschlossenheit, die dramatische Intensität und die meisterhafte Schilderung menschlicher Leidenschaften sowie des Pariser Milieus machen den Roman »Vetter Pons« zu einem der bedeutendsten Werke von Honoré de Balzacs »Menschlicher Komödie«. Der verarmte Musiker Sylvain Pons ist von zwei Leidenschaften besessen: dem Sammeln von Kunstgegenständen, deren materiellen Wert er übrigens nicht kennt, und der Feinschmeckerei. Der Feinschmeckerei darf er als ›armer‹ Vetter manchmal am Tisch seiner reichen Verwandten Camusot de Marville frönen, durch die er jedoch manche Demütigung einstecken muß. Als er versucht, für deren Tochter Cécile einen reichen Freier zu vermitteln, und dies zu einem die Familie kompromittierenden Fehlschlag wird, zieht er deren dauernden Zorn auf sich. Nachdem er daraufhin tödlich erkrankt und der Wert seiner Kunstsammlung ruchbar wird, werden er und sein Freund Schmücke, ein naiver deutscher Musiker, den er zum Alleinerben bestimmt hatte, Opfer skrupelloser Erbschleicher, zu denen außer der Familie die Concierge Cibot, der Kunsthändler Rèmonencq und der Arzt Poulain gehören.

October 2022La chanson de Rose
Christmas in New York
by Jane Méry / Chantal Jean / Sylvain Robin / Camille Claris / Laure Guillebon
After « Martin’s song » and its folk music dive into the fights of the Civil Right movement in the United States, Jane Méry brings us on a journey to discover feminist movements that shaped US history. In her small Ménilmontant (Paris) school, Rose watches boys playing football and taking up all of the playground space… Girls ? They are left out on the pitch side. How unfair ! Why those differences ? Whether it is girl or boy, why does it matter ? We are all children after all ! Anger is brewing. Fortunately, it is Christmas. During a trip to New York (which is so unexpected that it flirts with fantasy), Rose experiences an inclusive, quirky and musical party… but also very enlightening ! She is preparing her own revolution. https://soundcloud.com/trois-petits-points/la-chanson-de-rose-christmas-in-new-york
