Douce France. Cock-a-doodle-doo! France is a thousand-year-old heritage, a land that cultivates masterpieces with genius, beauty, irony and panache. A country at the pinnacle of the arts, which has made language, style and emotion as much an art of living as an art of creating.
From Lully to Johnny, this Clash chanson pays tribute to the France that sings and enchants. From the splendors of Louis XIV’s court to popular refrains, the program brings together the classical repertoire and songs from the French pantheon in the same language of fire and emotion.
From Jean-Baptiste Lully, Jean-Philippe Rameau and Claude Debussy to Jacques Brel, Édith Piaf, Serge Gainsbourg, Johnny Hallyday and Orelsan, this concert revives a lively, cheeky musical pantheon.
Supported by Christian Olivier,founder of Les Têtes Raides, a major artist at the crossroads of song, theater and poetry, the show takes on an embodied, free dimension. He imposes a singular writing style and an intense stage presence, between spoken and sung word. He is accompanied by a band of musicians from the classical and rock worlds, in a daring musical dialogue.
