Brassens l'amour des mots

A show devoted to Georges Brassens, performed by the trio Un trio complice around the craft of writing and the words that shaped the work of the singer and poet from Sète.

Georges Brassens, a French singer-songwriter born in Sète in 1921 and died in 1981, left a lasting mark on French song through carefully crafted lyrics and a poetic writing style. Among his best-known songs are 'Le Gorille', 'Les copains d'abord', 'La Mauvaise Réputation' and 'Chanson pour l'Auvergnat'. His songs draw on the tradition of the poets and on the libertarian ideas that run through much of his lyrics.

This show is not a concert by Georges Brassens but a tribute by Un trio complice. The programme puts the emphasis on words and on the way they build the songs, revisiting the author's work in a new interpretation.

The evening takes place at the Théâtre Le Blanc-Mesnil, in the Salle Barbara, a concert and performance venue in Le Blanc-Mesnil, Seine-Saint-Denis. It is aimed at lovers of French song and of literature in song.
