Tribulat Bonhomet

Through a trio of vivid sketches, listeners meet the enigmatic Dr. Tribulat Bonhomet, a lanky scholar whose life revolves around the haunting cry of swans. By night he dons steel gauntlets, rubber boots and a wide‑brimmed hat, slipping silently to a forgotten pond where a solitary black swan guards a chorus of unseen birds. His meticulous, almost ritualistic pursuit of that nocturnal song reveals a mind both erudite and oddly solitary, setting the tone for the strange adventures to follow.

In the heart of the work Bonhomet turns the microphone on himself, recounting the puzzling case of Claire Lenoir—a woman whose fate seems tangled with the same melancholy music he cherishes. The narrative unfolds with the same lyrical detail, inviting listeners to follow his reasoning, his doubts, and the uncanny atmosphere that surrounds the investigation. An epilogue closes the first act, promising further anecdotes and aphorisms from this singular, unforgettable doctor.
