In a clean and bright space, dancers in deceptively simple costumes will bring Barbara's words to life. Piece by piece, they will make us experience the full range of emotions that fill the work of the singer-songwriter. From nostalgia to passion, from...a sadness to joy, from solitude to love, a variety of generations and female presences will embrace all stages of life to enchant us.
A little patience
During 12 performances — the show will take a break on November 10 and 16, dancers will move to the rhythm of the words to transform the stage into a living space. And watch out, the ticket sales are already open, so don't wait too long to grab your tickets. Tickets are available starting at 25€, which is a relatively reasonable price to admire a dance genius showcasing their talent for one of the greatest figures in French music.
