New stopover of the “Bateau Ivre”
Following the invitation of Inouï Productions, Arts vivants en Vaucluse, and the city of Avignon, we made a new stopover of “100 guitars on a drunken boat” (a re-creation).
It took place from September 2018 to June 2019 with a new crew and fabulous new skippers: Jérémy Cardaccia, Julien (Wallace) Corda, Laurent Lucci, Jean-Marc Montera, and guitarists from Avignon, Marseille, Montpellier and Lyon.
A new team of musicians, new partners, a new and wonderful story! The final concert took place in a magnificent setting on the Esplanade of the Garden of the Doms above the Palais des Papes in Avignon.
Many thanks to Guigou Chenevier for the initiative of this invitation.

Presentation text by Inouï production
« On June 9, an exceptional concert bringing together a hundred electric guitarists will take place in Avignon, on the esplanade of the Jardin des Doms. “100 Guitars on a Drunken Boat” is a fifty-minute piece created by guitarist and composer Gilles Laval, freely inspired by Arthur Rimbaud’s poem “Le Bateau Ivre”. “100 Guitars on a Drunken Boat” is a musical work as powerful as the waves of the ocean. In turn melodic, rhythmic or noisy, this piece is a heart-rending cry for the protection of the oceans. Each musician has a unique place in an ensemble that brings together guitarists from all walks of life. Conquered by this unique human musical adventure, the team of the Collectif Inouï and the association Inouï Productions have decided to carry this project to Avignon and beyond for more than a year. Since September 2018, a “hard core” of about twenty guitarists from Avignon and the region, reinforced by a few from further afield (Marseille, Lyon, Montélimar, etc.), have begun to rehearse at the Autre Scène in Vedène.
From January 2019 until June, 3 crews of 20 guitarists rehearse in parallel at the rate of one session per month on the Highlands (La Manutention) and at the Sorgues Music School to prepare this extraordinary concert. They will be joined by a group of guitarists from Lyon and Montpellier, on the day of the concert…
4 scenes arranged like the cardinal points with the audience in the middle, in sound and visual immersion for an extraordinary sensory journey. »
