Brel! The Show at Théâtre Maisonneuve

Tue 16 Jan 2024 • 08:00 pm Chanson francophone
Théâtre Maisonneuve - Montréal À partir de 70$
· by Rédaction PAN M 360

Conceived and directed by Gil Marsalla from Nice-based Directo Productions (Piaf! le spectacle, Formidable Aznavour, Et Maintenant), he now brings us Brel! Le spectacle in its Montreal premiere.

Many speak of him as a reincarnation. On stage, Olivier Laurent doesn’t imitate Brel, he is Brel, bringing the lyrics of his greatest songs to life as if his life depended on it. With this concert, already performed a hundred times before jubilant or tearful audiences in Paris, New York, Stockholm, Beirut, London, Dubai and even Brussels, the artist pays a masterly tribute to the greatest French-speaking singer Belgium has ever known, with his voice, rage, irony and tenderness.

Accompanied by 4 exceptional musicians, he gives his all to the frenetic rhythm of La Valse à mille temps, and plays Ces gens-là, Les Vieux and Les Bigotes with elegance and passion. Olivier Laurent even lets us rediscover Voir un ami pleurer from the album Les Marquises, a song that Jacques Brel didn’t have time to sing on stage after succumbing to illness. A breath of poetry and a true performance. Chills guaranteed!

Conçu et dirigé par le niçois Gil Marsalla de Directo Productions (Piaf ! le spectacle, Formidable Aznavour, Et Maintenant), il nous offre maintenant Brel! Le spectacle en grande première à Montréal.

Ils sont nombreux à parler de lui comme d’une réincarnation. Sur scène, Olivier Laurent n’imite pas Brel, il est Brel, faisant revivre les textes de ses plus grandes chansons comme si sa vie en dépendait. Avec ce concert déjà joué une centaine de fois devant des publics en liesse ou émus aux larmes, à Paris, New York, Stockholm, Beyrouth, Londres, Dubaï et même Bruxelles, c’est par la voix, la rage, l’ironie et la tendresse que l’artiste rend cet hommage magistral au plus grand chanteur francophone que la Belgique ait connu.

Accompagné de 4 musiciens d’exception, il se donne à corps perdu pour épouser le rythme effréné de La Valse à mille temps, incarne avec fougue et élégance Ces gens-là, Les Vieux ou Les Bigotes. Olivier Laurent nous fait même redécouvrir Voir un ami pleurer issu de l’album Les Marquises, que Jacques Brel, emporté par la maladie, n’aura pas eu le temps de chanter sur scène. Une grande bouffée de poésie et une véritable performance. Frissons garantis!
