Fréhel, Diva des abîmes, spectacle musical

-=₪۩۞۩₪=-

Immense, enormous, absolutely free, sincere and sensitive to the point of obscenity, Fréhel is probably the emblematic singer of France between the two wars. She inspired the best authors and composers of her time, and leaves behind a repertoire of extraordinary beauty, largely forgotten. -=₪۩۞۩₪=- IMPASSE des VERTUS resurrects it today, and tells in music the improbable destiny of “The unforgettable forgotten one” who, more than any other, will have known at the same time the abysses and the summits, lived the infamous and the sublime. -=₪۩۞۩₪=- “I would like to fall asleep one day, to leave without suffering to the sound of the accordion. One last exhilaration, and goodnight, goodnight pleasure… I am no more afraid of death than I was afraid of life. Look, I have the Big Dipper engraved in my pupils. And I was born on a Friday the 13th. These are signs, here in the moor. I cried, I suffered, I was happier than any woman on Earth. Writers have included me in their works, Colette, Mac Orlan, I won gold, I possessed everything. Of course I believe in my songs, otherwise I would sing them hymns! I believe in the Good Lord like when I was a kid… He knows well what we are doing, the Good Lord… I am sure of myself, I tell you, after the big plunge!…” Fréhel Fréhel, diva of the abysses Musical show Duration: 1h40 Vocals: Frédérique Delay / Accordion, narration: Philippe Corbin / Directed by: Philippe Corbin and Denis Giraud.
