Sessions
A twenty-first century urban legend claims that one night, some children left their home without telling their parents, in a quest known to them alone. They had brought their own food, costumes, trestles and songs. During their stopovers, they would compel the musical stories of which they were becoming the heroes. La grande affabulation narrates the great musical confabulation of their maiden voyage.
