Master of the Music

Musical clowning performance -45′

Núria Bonet is the Master of the Music. She has mastered all of the music and all of the instruments, and you have a chance to attend her masterclass tonight! Become a student of the Master and learn her revolutionary new techniques. Prepare to be amazed and witness mastery on the piano, apples, clarinet, clothes pegs, accordion, gloves…

But tonight, the Master of the Music begins to unravel after performing an excessively dangerous encore… How did she get here and was it worth it? Accompany Núria Bonet as she contemplates the pain, discipline and absurdity of being a Classical musician, with a side of Weetabix.

The Master of the Music exists as a 45-minute staged solo performance which has been performed at Totnes Fringe Festival and TheatreFest Barnstaple. It has been scratched at Plymouth Performance Weekend (The House Plymouth), the Barbican Theatre (Plymouth) and AMATA (Falmouth). It also exists as a cabaret act (10-15 minutes) which has been performed at nights including A Burt Lash Drag Cabaret (The Gaffe, Bristol), Minxy’s Cabaret (The Mermaid, Exeter) and FILTH! (The Underground, Plymouth)

Núria Bonet’s hilariously camp musical lecture was so effective and funny in puncturing over inflated musical egos, that it reminded me of Kenny Everett bursting Rod Stewart’s over inflated bottom and that is a real tribute when exploding any balloons of pomposity. – Plymouth Art Weekender

[…] the supremely talented [Nuria] Bonet. She turned musical virtuosity into comedy gold with the aid of foam fingers, apples, facial clothes pegs and quick-fire strip tease.
She did also spray Weetabix in my wine though…
… It kind of worked, to be fair.
