Overview

STARMANIA is a cyberpunk rock opera that premiered on stage in 1979. In the near future, most developed countries have merged. Zéro Janvier, CEO of the biggest corporation in "The Occident" (as the new Western state is known) is campaigning to become President on a platform vowing to eliminate the terrorist group The Black Stars and their leader Johnny Rockfort. He has convinced the Stars' information broker Sadia to secretly work for him, while also courting the retiring film star Stella Spotlight. Meanwhile, Johnny Rockfort plans to kidnap television sweetheart Cristal, but he falls in love with her instead. Overlooking all this is Marie-Jeanne, a waitress in the café where the Black Stars meet, and her friend Ziggy, an obsessive David Bowie fan whose dearest wish is to appear on Cristal's music program STARMANIA. The show recounts these entwined love stories set in parallel, touching also on themes of terrorism, totalitarianism, and an individual's right to decide his own destiny.

Overview

Starmania est un opéra rock cyberpunk. Dans le futur, les pays développés ont fusionné pour créer l’Occident et le businessman Zéro Janvier vise la présidence. Il mise sur sa relation avec le sex-symbol Stella Spotlight, une actrice sur le déclin. Avec elle à son bras, il apparaît sur les plateaux télé et fait campagne en promettant d’éliminer les Étoiles noires, un groupe terroriste. Sadia, fille de bonne famille en révolte, est une anticonformiste et le cerveau des Étoiles noires. Johnny Rockfort, issu des mauvais quartiers, en est le chef. Ils se voient à l’Underground Café sous les regards de Marie-Jeanne, la serveuse, et de Ziggy, son ami gai dont elle est amoureuse. Sadia a l'idée de kidnapper Cristal, l'animatrice de l'émission Starmania où Ziggy rêve de passer. Tout déraille quand Johnny et Cristal tombent amoureux. Starmania raconte ces histoires d’amour parallèles avec en filigrane les thèmes du terrorisme, du totalitarisme et du droit de chacun d'être maître de son destin.
