Travel through time with Wetion. Based on the book by the same name, Wetion highlights communication’s role in survival and the evolution of writing is a part of this theme. Its 10 scenes recall the important moments worth remembering over 2,000 generations…the legends, passion, humour, laws, codes and cures. And the scenes are staged in regions where much history was written - East Africa, Egypt, the Middle East, European regional hubs, and North American centers.
Life in Charlemagne’s time and town formed the setting for Scene 07. The song "Bon Ami" celebrates the times. Situated in Aix-la-Chapelle, France, the year was 800 CE. A brother and sister, Adam and Mary, appeared to enjoy the good life in the castle, at least on the surface. Is a single train of thought best for all?
Bon Ami
Can you believe?
Look at the space
A place for the fa-mi-ly
Bon Amiiiiii
Water all around
The sweet, sweet sound
Of bees making honey
Bon Amiiiiii
Paint the walls
Express yourself
It’s perfect, ma chérie
Bon Amiiiiii
Char-le-magne
And the Papst
Latin vulgarly
Bon Amiiiiii
Live for free
Mother Liberty
Poppies in the fields
Bon Amiiiiii
Life’s too short
Sip Burgundy
Palace life’s for me
Bon Amiiiiii
Mer-ri-ly
Live good dreams
Très Bien, oui
Bon Amiiiiii
If’s it’s unity
We will need
A sense of one family
Bon Amiiiiii
Morning has broken
Daybreak we share
Live for the faith
The devil so beware
Ghosts hold the secrets
March without end
The road to true freedom
Evasive to men
Can you believe?
