I Wanna Walk Like You: Planet of the Apes Version at SDCC 2024

At 20th Century Studio’s “Enter The Forbidden Zone! The Planet of the Apes Experience,” located at what is normally San Diego Wine & Culinary Center (across the street from the Convention Center at 200 W. Harbor Drive, San Diego), we learned a bit about how to walk like an ape under the tutelage of Alain Gauthier, movement coordinator. Here are my thoughts and impressions. What helps is…

A first attempt fell into nothingness :

The very first musical Made in France

Which is neither a foreign adaptation nor an operetta from another time, was initially just a simple disc without great ambition .

The disc existed in two different copies :

The original double album from 1973 containing the vinyl and twelve pages of unpublished comics

and

The triple album black and gold from 1977 where the song of the assassination of Marat was completely rewritten .

Stars of French song of the time are nevertheless present on the album :

Alain Bashung as Robespierre , Antoine is Napoleon , and the Charlots (a group of comedian actors/singers) as priests

( Note the tiny participation of a still unknown Daniel Balavoine in the chorus . )

The story follow the impossible love story of Charles Gauthier, a boy from the people for Isabelle de Montmorency, daughter of aristocrats during the great events of 1789 (This plot will be copied without any embarrassment by the musical comedy "1789 les Amants de la Bastille" many years later)

The Disc will be such a surprise success that a stage adaptation will be carried out, first at the Palais des sports with the presence of Alain Bashung still in his role of Robespierre then at the Mogador theater the following year with a new troupe and without the presence of the stars of the album .

Despite its success, the show was not filmed or archived.

All we have left are some fairly poor quality TV archives and the full audio of the original album :

The full album :

Today this show has completely fallen into oblivion, no attempt at a revival had been started, until this year !!

I invite you to follow the path to my main masterlist to learn more about French musicals and their stories :

Igor and Svetlana Kopystiansky. Double Fiction. 2008. Installation view: Radvila Palace Museum of Art, exhibition Igor & Svetlana Kopystiansky. 2023-2024.

"Double Fiction"(2008) by Igor and Svetlana Kopystiansky based at "The Birds" by Alfred Hitchcock. …“Two revelatory pieces taken from the classical narrative cinema, Spellbound (2009) and Birds (2008), rework canonical Alfred Hitchcock films employing the same technique used in Pink and White. In this case, the moving image is not found footage but a finely crafted example of the classical cinema, created by a director employing elaborately staged action, cinematography, a script, acting, lighting, composition, and sound. In the case of Spellbound, a three-minute loop superimposes a sequence from the film played forward with the same scenes played in reverse. The two sequences come together in the middle and then continue on to either the conclusion or beginning of the sequence. Narrative anticipation and the intense drama of the action reaches its climax as a single scene. Time folds upon itself as we watch, but also as we recall what we already know. This method is elaborated further in The Birds, in which the entire Hitchcock film is shown with sound, from beginning to end and over again in reverse, from the end to the beginning. (The credits have been removed.) At the mid-point, the film becomes one as the superimposed films line up and become a single film. A work of astonishing simplicity and originality, it takes the meta-cinematic work of such artists as Douglas Gordon and Stan Douglas and the treatment of language in Gary Hill’s videotapes into the complex terrain of narrative, storytelling, and perception. The anticipation and remembrance of time and events through the conventions of storytelling, as we see in the Birds, also becomes a means to provide new insight into that film’s apocryphal vision of nature and human relationships. Early scenes are joined with later scenes, and it is almost as if the film itself is dreaming its own narrative as it unfolds. Birds is a brilliant choice, since it heightens the dramatic intensity of the narrative cinema and the nuance of the performances in a deconstruction of the meanings of the original film. It also places the viewer before the screen as an active participant. In a sense, the film haunts itself, as the action that unfolds anticipates its own conclusion, and the relationships between the characters become tragically predicted and realized. The destruction that is foreshadowed actually appears in the film at its beginning. Igor and Svetlana Kopystiansky have created a dialectical process by integrating the point of view of the camera and the play of time. The viewer becomes engaged in active looking and creates meaning out of moving images through that cognitive process. These artists have created an aesthetic text that is haunted by memory, whether represented by found footage, by the chance recordings of plastic bags blowing along on the sidewalk or the movement of people on the street, or by the rediscovery of scenes from well-known movies. Time erases itself as scenes overlap and change, in the process refashioning the moving image into an aesthetic text of timeless fascination.”
