Elisapie: Uvattini at the Musée du quai Branly – Jacques Chirac

Metallica, Pink Floyd, Blondie, The Rolling Stones, or Cyndi Lauper... In her latest album, titled "Inuktitut", Elisapie reinterprets in her native language some of rock and pop’s enduring classics. While The Unforgiven from Metallica is renamed "Isumagijunnaitaungituq", the track "Wild Horses" written by Mick Jagger and Keith Richards becomes "Qimmijuat".

With Uvattini, the artist extends this world in a show that blends music, storytelling, video and performance. The project brings memories, the past and the present into conversation.

At the Quai Branly – Jacques Chirac Museum, this event is part of the program accompanying the First Nations exhibition. Elisapie is joined by Joshua Toal and Jean-Sébastien Williams on guitars and vocals, and Jérémie Essiambre on drums.
