Les Partisans du chant
Coline Malice, Karim Gharbi, Sarclo, Mathias Bressan
An evening to discover and savour songs: intimate or critical, acerbic or light-hearted, satyric or voluptuous, dreamy or rebellious, concerned or joyful.
With an accordion over her heart, Coline Malice struts rebelliously and reels between gentleness, humour, complicity and anger. Her warm, powerful voice is just a cry that accuses or embraces, that disconcerts or comforts you.
Bounding across the stage, the surprising Karim Gharbi creates a singular universe that mixes richly poetic texts with music from all horizons. His shows are situated at the border between popular culture and classical poetry, between music hall and acrobatic dance.
Like a bastard son of Bob Dylan and Pierre Desproges, Sarclo is a Swiss dandy, subtle and mean, funny and dark. He laughs at everything, plants his rich rhymes in the hearts of those who love finesse and makes fun of the madness of a world going off the rails.
In a purposefully varied register, Mathias Bressan takes pride in his multi-coloured influences and flaunts his contrasting moods. His lyrics are, in turn, dreamy, fanciful, dark and concerned about the mad race of the modern world. His musical ambiances are both gentle and stormy.
