Synopsis: A celebration of the art, spirit and legacy of Georges Brassens. With songs, reflections and excerpts from his writings, this show pays tribute to the free and profoundly human poet he was. A journey through the words, silences and laughter of a timeless artist.
Conceived as a dialogue with Brassens' work, this show offers an intimate experience, far removed from classic imitations or re-enactments. Three artists - Nicolas Natkin (interpretation and vocals), Mauro Talma (guitar) and Stéphane Caroubi (double bass) - embody a warm, embodied version of the stage, between theater, song and poetry.
The show highlights the richness of Brassens' repertoire, while revealing his thoughts through excerpts from interviews, confidences and little-known texts. Philippe Nicaud 's sober, rhythmic staging emphasizes listening, transmission and direct emotion.
The Compagnie du Goéland, founded by Nicolas Natkin, has been defending a theater of words and sensibility for over ten years. With Brassens, l'amour des mots, it continues its approach, combining musical creation, theatrical interpretation and the desire to convey a poetic and committed message.
André Oumansky 's artistic contribution to the project brings a sense of memory and transmission, consolidating the show's theatrical roots.
Accessible to audiences aged 12 and over, Brassens, l'amour des mots will appeal to fans of French chanson, those with a passion for poetry on stage, and those looking for intimate shows where language and music are in dialogue. Brassens, l'amour de mots can be compared with other musical theater shows such as Léo Ferré 100 ans, or the staged recitals of Barbara and Brel.
This original show, conceived by Nicolas Natkin, is performed by three artists combining voice, guitar and double bass. Created in Paris, it celebrates the freedom of tone and strength of chanson engagée through the work of Georges Brassens. A proposal at the crossroads of theater, concert and poetic performance.
With a cast of experienced actor-musicians, sober staging and a sincere tribute to Georges Brassens, Brassens, l'amour des mots promises a warm and humane stage experience. A must-see for the beauty of its lyrics, its poetic roots and its invitation to rediscover free speech.
