Description
The troupe of the Comedie-Francaise pays tribute to Serge Gainsbourg in a musical show that has enjoyed great success. Six actors, singers and musicians from the company perform songs and excerpts from interviews: 'We have focused on the amorous, sensual side of Gainsbourg. On the one hand, there's the music, on the other, the man himself, with his repartee, his irreverent, subversive spirit... We have given pride of place to all his emblematic songs, which the younger generation doesn't necessarily know.' Stephane Varupenne and Sebastien Pouderoux (the duo who adapted the words and music), Benjamin Lavernhe, Noam Morgensztern, Rebecca Marder and Yoann Gasiorowski 'reinvent thirteen classics by the maestro, and it's quite simply stunning', wrote Le Figaro, which ranked the show as one of the must-sees of 2022. And here is the original cast album!
