A
journey across Europe accompanied by Brel, Ferré, Aznavour,
Vian, Gainsbourg, Piaf, Nougaro, Coluche, Prévert and Bourvil,
not to mention jazz and Pigalle rock, the revolt of an Italian
song, the emotion of a Chilean tune or the hope in a Quebec
trio in memory of Vignault, Charlesbois and Leclerc. These
songs, forever fixed in our collective memory also make us
think of Aristide Bruant’s Paris, of the « kid » Piaf, of
waltzes and the Java, of dance-hall accordion music and a
guitar situated somewhere between dance-hall and blues -
realist, populist songs, warm and tender, nourished on good
humour and happiness.
|
‘Y’aura d’la Zizique !’ can be performed as evening cabaret or
theatre, indoors or outside with our new lorry-stage set up :
a semi-articulated lorry (8m25 x 2m40) which disappears under
a 1930s set . |
Note that the show about French songs may have different
themes depending on the context of the reception and the
organisations’ goals. |

What the reviews said : Christine Good, one of the
protagonists of this musical-disguised-as-theatre sings in a
deep voice shot through with tragedy. Under melancholic
lighting, her hands seek ‘The Accordionist’ ; ‘Le Port
d’Amsterdam’ wholly infuses her childish silhouette with an
expressive and pathetic rage and her almost unbearably
sensitive portrayal of violent emotions vividly pays homage to
the realist songs and to « voice » singers... Gérard
Guillemin’s gestures mockingly mime ‘Le plus bath des
javas’... As for Franc, he overflows with talent, emotion
explodes... humour and the tenderness of their stage
complicity envelop us entirely... |
