Thunderous announcements of the show Peaky Blinders. The Redemption of Thomas Shelbyon display until March 30 of the Seine Musicale, in Boulogne-Billancourt (Hauts-de-Seine), promised a major show, fitting with the series Peaky Blinders And its planetary success since the first season, in 2013. What audacity to adapt, in the interpretation of the English company Rambert Dance, a sumptuously tortuous scenario with its string of characters more exciting than the other, including the electric Thomas Shelby! If the company was perplexed, it generated a gourmet curiosity.

In terms of headgear, we are dressed, with the free distribution of caps identical to those displayed by interpreters on stage.

For the blades, they may shine in the darkness of the plateau, they remain in the rank of accessories and apparently did not serve to sharpen a booklet which turns out to be inconsistent: love, death and destiny of Tommy Shelby, seasoned with opium to give a touch of taste. As for thoroughbreds, they pile up in an old-fashioned merry-go-round.
