This musical theatre show sets out with a very simple goal: to present Jacques Brel's music, life and thoughts in a direct, minimalist, intimate way. The result is "a show of lyrical power and beauty" (Barry Ronge, theatre critic, The star tonight)
Jacque Brel's life was a great adventure. He lived intensely, following his feelings, his rebellions and his passions. His songs were stories, pictures, living tales of success, failures, adventures, friendship, dreams, disillusions, heartaches and pain and Cedric Vandenschrik and Stella Konik prove irrevocably the timelessness and relevance of his work.
The setting is simple, a pianist and a singer, exposed to the audience. A lot of the songs are sung in the original French language, but a clever script, and several songs in English allows everyone to understand the meaning of the work bringing you closer to the true essence of Jacque Brel.
Cedric like Jacque Brel is Belgian born, which allows him to dive into the character and expose it’s most intimate aspects.
When Jacques Brel died in 1978, it was as though he took with him a little of the potential that lies dormant in each of us. Come along and relive his amazing talent
