SUR LE PONT D'AVIGNON

Directed by Wolf Koenig, Jean Paul Ladouceur

1951 / 5min

Extravagantly gowned marionettes pantomime this old French folksong, sung by the Trio Lyrique. The song describes the traffic over the bridge at Avignon--the beautiful ladies and gallant gentlemen, the musicians and singers, learned professors, uniformed soldiers, comedians, acrobats, and village pranksters.
