Barbara par Pietragalla - Tournée

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

In this masterful show, she becomes the living reflection of the musical icon, transporting the audience into the poetic and melancholic world of the singer.

Through every movement, every gesture and every expression, Pietragalla reveals the depth of emotion that shaped Barbara's music. Her dance becomes a vibrant language, translating the singer's iconic words 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! An artist's 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 instant, every breath, the silence of a room vibrating as one. Her slender silhouette dressed in black, that walk like a ballerina on demi-pointe, she watches her audience, an audience already won over.

She breathes on stage for hours before the curtain rises, taking the pulse of a fantasised, beloved, desired audience… The stage is her refuge where all boundaries dissolve, black becomes 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 a joy and a suffering, and leaving it a heartbreak. But already, she has to hit the road 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
