Christophe Vieu is the author and director of some fifteen plays, presented at numerous festivals. His theatrical work is distinguished by the power of his texts, such as the monologue “Orianne or the Best Way to Love,” which explores the emotions of a woman cheated on by her husband, “Unfortunate Consequences of a Sleepless Night,” which plunges crazy characters into absurd situations, or “The Thousandth,” a one-act play inspired by the execution of the thousandth person sentenced to death in the United States. He is also the author of award-winning short stories and novels. His discovery of the Germanic world has influenced his intellectual and artistic journey. He creates astonishing stories, nourished by his global travels. His characters, marginalized and full of life, go against the grain and take a singular but invigorating look at reality. His texts, precise and inspired, reveal a committed and personal style. To enter his world, you have to let yourself be transported by his inventive and original pen, which surprises and seduces.

Convinced from the beginning of her pregnancy that her child would be the Mozart of the late 20th century, Céline immersed herself in classical music. But her son, born with an inexplicable intolerance to any melody, thwarted her ambitions. To escape the sonic nightmare, the young boy invents a talent that will change his life. In this novel, which also presents itself as a philosophical tale about forced vocations, Christophe Vieu draws us into a captivating story full of twists and turns, drawing on the rules of musical composition. He plays with contrasts, paradoxes, and symbols, creating endearing and complex characters. With his baroque pen, with casualness and lightness, the author explores our society obsessed with success and art, inviting the reader to question the obsession with precocious genius. In this world where everything is going wrong, is love the only harmony? Release Date: March 1, 2024 Order
