The French cabaret tradition comes to
us in this intimate performance by Irina Dalle based on texts by Jean-Luc Lagarce and
Olivier Py.
The music and songs, composed and arranged by Matthieu Dalle, seek to echo different
aspects of productions written and staged by these authors, in which Irina has performed.
The two characters, taken from Tous les Héros and Music-Hall, duplicate
and are blurred with reality: an actress and a musician take their stage-raft on a voyage
through their theatrical adventures, evoking meetings with other theatrical artists.
"Irina Dalle is not only an
excellent actress, large, long, luminous, born to travel the whole gamut, from Olivier Py
- with whom she did La Servante - to Franz Wedekind - as Lulu -, passing through Moliere,
Maeterlinck, Shakespeare… She writes."
