skygiantsFor Beth's birthday celebration this year, we dedicated several hours as a household to watching genarti's Blu-ray videorecording of Robin des Bois, the French Robin Hood musical we discovered a few years ago and she has since become moderately obsessed with.
ME, FIFTEEN MINUTES INTO THE DVD: Beth. Beth. Beth.
BETH: .... what.
ME: I have to screencap this show. I have to. I'm compelled. Will you be mad.
BETH: ......... only if you don't make it clear in your post that I GENUINELY LOVE IT AND IT'S FUN AND GOOD.
ME: Yes! Absolutely! It is fun and good! It's also, just, [gesturing at screen],
BETH, LONG-SUFFERING: ... yes. I understand.
So, with Beth's blessing, I have screencapped and summarized the show below for your reading pleasure.
Notes: I am not at all fluent French, but can sort of read it. Beth is pretty fluent in French, and had listened to most of the music of the soundtrack previous to our viewing, but not looked up all the lyrics. We confidently expected the Blu-ray to provide the option of French subtitles; it did not. As a result, it's entirely possible that everything that happens in this wildly entertaining, and deeply mystifying musical would make perfect sense to someone who could actually understand all the words as they were happening and was not simultaneously trying to live-translate to a non-fluent partner, and thus we would not be left asking questions like "wait, is Little John literally an angel, or was that a metaphor?"
As far as we can tell, the first number in the show, "La fleche ou la cible" ("The Arrow or the Target") is about the radicalization of Maid Marian, who is peacefully raising her son Adrien when she witnesses some police violence.
Marian responds by doubling down on her hot all-leather wardrobe, kicking over a catapult and raising up her own outlaw band.
...or she might have had the outlaw band already? We're not entirely sure. What we DO know (from Wikipedia plot summaries) is a.) Adrien is Robin's secret kid born after the Robin/Marian breakup fifteen years ago, and b.) Robin has no idea despite being ...
LITERALLY ON THE OTHER SIDE OF SHERWOOD. They just split the forest down the middle! They put a line down the middle of one single forest and said 'this half's yours and this half's mine, let's never meet again!' INCREDIBLE.
Anyway, On The Other Side Of Sherwood, Robin and his merry band are enjoying their usual hobbies of breakdance, parkour, and doing balancing acts on each other's longbows.
Left to right: Friar Tuck, Little John, Robin. Please note the good Friar's extremely ecclesiastical garments.
As far as we can tell from their usual blocking, Little John and Friar Tuck are in love.
Anyway! Over in the plot, Marian's son Adrien has decided that he wants to disguise himself as a guard and infiltrate the Sheriff of Nottingham's estate, for reasons that we're not entirely clear on.
The Sheriff's estate .... is an Experience. The Sheriff's intro song is called "Notting Hill, Nottingham" and as he monologues about how he can do anything he want and nobody can stop him, we are introduced one by one to:
a.) the Sheriff's sad daughter, Belinda
b.) the Sheriff's .... guard dogs? guard ravens? personal gladiators? They cavort through every Sheriff scene in their feather breeches and hats and we have no idea what they are supposed to represent. Sometimes he uses them as a throne.
c.) the Sheriff and his evil pompadour himself
d.) the Sheriff's court of voguing knights
e.) and robotic ladies who glide around Belinda while they and she make strangling motions at their throats
f.) who eventually split themselves open to disgorge screaming actresses
The screaming ladies writhe horribly upon the floor before being sucked back into their metal robot dresses to dance robotically with the vogueing gentlemen of the court. This is the point at which I lean over to Beth and inform her, "I MUST SCREENCAP THIS MUSICAL."
Belinda and Adrien are both, understandably, distressed by what they have witnessed this night, in Notting Hill, Nottingham, where the posh people live.
However, Adrien is determined to go through with competing in the Sheriff's tournament [for Belinda's hand]?, which, conveniently for him, features two events: rope-climbing and archery.
Belinda is unimpressed by the other competitors in the event -
- but just blown away by Adrien's charm and high-school-gym-class nimbleness.
So while Adrien undergoes some homosocial bonding with the lads ...
... Belinda symbolically strips out of the most armor-like layer of her costume and climbs into the center of a giant archery target to sing about her feelings.
Eventually Adrien is able to break away from homosocial bonding to join her there -
- at which point the giant target they're hanging out in turns into a GIANT WHITE HORSE and they roll off into the forest!!!
They sing some more about their love, accompanied by some forest fairies [?] who are very into it and get very into their business.
Meanwhile, Robin and his band are very proud to report that they have finally finished their construction of ... the Wicker Man?
Chekhov's Wicker Man sits in the background for several scenes and then, I regret to report, is never explained or seen again. However, Friar Tuck does bring Marian and her band over to admire it, which begs the question: do Marian and Robin, who haven't seen each other in fifteen years, have joint custody of Friar Tuck? Has he been splitting his time between the two halves of Sherwood all these years? Is he Allowed to Cross the Line?
Anyway, Friar Tuck sings a song and dances a dance about how other people can sing and dance if they want but he has to focus on changing the world and thus will not sing and dance, while the forest sprites look at him longingly and the Wicker Man looms ominously yet pointlessly in the background.
At some point in the middle of this sequence, Adrien turns up with his new girlfriend, the Sheriff's daughter. Everyone is delighted to welcome them back and get Belinda some hot forest leathers!
However, sussing out that the Sheriff is likely to be big mad, Marian decides it's time to finally go and have a Relationship Talk with Robin, which they obviously conduct while moving dramatically past each other on a treadmill while backup dancers aggressively make out around them.
Then Marian drops the paternity bombshell. The crowd reels!
Robin sings a very sweet song about how he was waiting all this while to be a dad without knowing it, which culminates in a father-son hug.
However, the Sheriff has taken this time to armor up.
So, obviously, the Sherwood gang makes their own preparations, by which I mean removing their shirts.
It's time for a fight scene! Which is initially conducted by puppets, in an effect that I bet is incredible onstage but somewhat confusing in video.
They're ... squashed under ... the giant boot of the Sherrif ....????
Anyway the end result is that things go badly, Adrien and Belinda are dragged away, and Marian dramatically takes an arrow for Robin!
Don't worry, Marian is fine, we're just going to pause for some hurt-comfort with a duet called "Tes Blessures" ("Your Wounds").
Back in Notting Hill, Nottingham, it's jail for Adrien for One Thousand Years, and Belinda has changed into her mourning blacks.
We know the length of imprisonment is a big deal because Adrien sings a song against the backdrop of a agonized man trapped in a hourglass with sand pouring down repeatedly banging against the glass for Adrien to let him out.
I took approximately one million screencaps of Hourglass Man. I felt it was really important to acknowledge his suffering. The particular look of despair on his face as Adrien wandered away out of this metaphor and back into the rest of his musical solo ... Hourglass Man, we see you! You're not alone!
As the young lovers suffer, both teams have training montages going in preparation for another, bigger battle! On one side, the Sheriff's men are practicing their pelvic thrusts.
On the other side, Marian is fully recovered and we are all having a great time watching Robin's men perfect their battle breakdancing. I do want to emphasize that Marian's expression here is also my expression whenever we get into forest parkour; the dancing and aerials in the show are absolutely tremendous and it's a genuine delight to watch.
But before the big battle can occur, Robin and the Sheriff find each other alone in the forest somehow (?) and enter into single combat --
-- which escalates when they both suddenly develop spontaneous superpowers and shoot up into the sky for a flying battle???
Unfortunately, Robin, unusued to his new powers of flight (???), loses and gets thrown into prison along with Adrien.
But Little John and the Merry Men promptly sneak through the audience to rescue them both.
While everyone else goes off for some celebratory family time, Little John stays behind for a solo about how he watches over their frail mortal beings ...
... in the middle of which he suddenly busts out his ENORMOUS GUARDIAN ANGEL WINGS and starts flying through the sky???
But we don't have time to process that because it's time for the final battle! Which the Sheriff shows up to like ... well.
Does the Sheriff still have superpowers? Is this a robot army now? Did he figure out he was going to have to fight Actual Guardian Angel Little John and up his game?
Fortunately, Robin's men have also upped their game and become glowy, so the battle remains even.
Robin's men win the fight, but -- inevitably -- it turns out Little John died tragically in the battle to protect Robin. (One does feel obliged at this point to note that Little John is the only actor of color among the main cast.)
Anyway, Friar Tuck sings a touching solo about the loss of his best friend while cradling Little John's face and then flinging himself full-body onto his breast.
Which, you know, if Little John is a little guardian angel, that really adds some layers to his romance with technically-a-priest Friar Tuck that I'd love to see explored -- anyway! Jesus symbolism! Little John is carried away past a cross!
At this point, to my great surprise, King Richard comes back.
Now, it's entirely possible that King Richard had been mentioned at some point previous to this, and this was thoroughly foreshadowed! Who can say! This musical is in French! Anyway, he looks approximately twelve years old, and Robin's real happy to see him.
Now that Richard is back, all is well! The voguing knights can remove their helmets, and the screaming ladies can be freed from their iron maidens!
The Sheriff arrives, in chains and looking moderately sheepish, but King Richard decides he's seen the error of his ways, so he gets to have a nice paternal reunion with Belinda during Robin's knighthood ceremony.
But Robin isn't the court type! You can't tie him down! So he leads the entire cast off for a breakdancing party in the woods ...
... to which the Sheriff shows up to awkwardly ask for an invite ...
... and we end on a shot of the Sheriff and Robin shaking hands, which feels a little disrespectful to both Little John and Agonized Hourglass Man, but never mind.
If you want a better sense of what the actual dancing and stage presence of this show are like than still images can give you, then I recommend checking out this promo video which combines clips from the show with some very cute backstage backflip footage. If you want more of an experience than that, I recommend catchinggenarti on a day when she feels like spot-translating two hours' worth of Robin Hood musical, which may be easier than you'd think!

[edit] At this point, to my great surprise, King Richard comes back.
It's the single most normal thing that happens in this entire musical! Richard the Lionheart is endemic to Robin Hood! You have to do something dramatic to avoid him, like re-set the story to the Norman invasion!
(This is a real-life example: Parke Godwin's Sherwood (1991). I can't tell you what I thought of it as an artistic choice because I read the novel in high school and was therefore was too busy judging him for writing about archery in a way that looked highly technical on the page but was, from the perspective of a reader at that time competing at the state level, completely stupid.)
Happy birthday,

Date: 2021-08-02 06:29 pm (UTC)- I think the deal with Marian's band of outlaws is that Robin has all the backflippy parkour warriors and she has a collection of orphans and elderly people and stuff? But I'm not 100% sure of that.
- The Sheriff's daughter's name is actually Bédélia, not Belinda! I'm not sure of the differences in how a French audience would react to that name -- I trust, but do not know, that it sounds suitably medieval or at least medievalesque? -- but unfortunately to me, a USAian of a particular age, it inescapably calls to mind Amelia Bedelia.
- They did explain to us earnestly that Chekhov's Wicker Man was OUR SYMBOL, REPRESENTING THE RIGHTS AND FREEDOM OF ALL MEN, which they had painstakingly crafted. (I'm aware that this does not, in fact, explain anything.)
- ...I think this is about all the additional info I can provide, I cannot explain the plot and battle scene choices any more than you but it's just all SO MUCH. Is Robin des Bois what one would call "good"? Or, indeed, "coherent in any way"? I have no interest in this question, it's full of very talented people doing over-the-top nonsense and it's AMAZING XD
