Barbara par Pietragalla - Tournée

A VIBRANT TRIBUTE TO AN UNFORGETTABLE ARTIST. Marie-Claude Pietragalla, celebrated dancer and choreographer, transforms on stage to embody the legendary singer Barbara.

In this masterful show, she becomes the living reflection of this musical icon, carrying the audience into Barbara's poetic, melancholic world. Through every movement, gesture and expression, Pietragalla reveals the depth of emotion that shaped Barbara's music.

Her dance becomes a vivid language, translating the iconic artist's lyrics and melodies. Memories, joys and sorrows take shape in every step, offering the audience a unique visual and emotional experience. "An October evening at the Châtelet. Unforgettable!

A dressing room… Her hand in mine, that wild, enigmatic presence. On stage, she flies, she soars. From her piano to her rocking chair, she savours every moment, every breath, the silence of a hall vibrating in unison.

Her slender silhouette dressed in black, that ballerina-like walk on tiptoe, she watches her audience, an audience already won over.

She breathes on stage for hours before the curtain rises, taking the pulse of an imagined, beloved, desired audience… The stage is her refuge, where every boundary dissolves, black turns to light, time comes apart, life's realities transform in the chiaroscuro of the spotlights.

Barbara knows that detail is what makes the difference, that stepping on stage is both joy and suffering, and leaving it a heartbreak. But already, the road calls again for a new adventure, a new blank page to colour in, the thrill of feeling alive.

The musical notes trace a score where sighs dance, where silences dance. " – Marie-Claude Pietragalla.
