Micha van Hoecke’s new creation, inspired by Édith Piaf, “the little sparrow”, is a series of scenic tableaux suggesting the world of the “chanteuse de rue”, crowded with colourful, moonlit characters. Like Jean Cocteau, a frequent guest of the nightclub where she used to perform, who wrote his famous pièce, Le bel indifférent, for her. In Micha’s work – a mix of music, songs and dance – all these suggestions come together in a virtual portrait of Édith, who is never directly seen on stage. The piece is an affectionate, nostalgic (re)evocation of an intense period, which Micha partly shared, since he used to live in Paris during the very last years of Piaf’s life, breathing in her very same moods and atmospheres.
