NEW THIS FALL AT BLUE METROPOLIS, 2021
- Published 2021-10-15 11:27 - (874 Reads)LIFE... AS A SONG
ORIGINAL PERFORMANCE, OCTOBER 21, 2021The period between the 1960s and the 1980s literally revolutionized the Quebec and Canadian musical landscape. The unforgettable songs of artists such as Joni Mitchell, Paul Piché, Michel Rivard and countless others are now written into our cultural DNA, and many of them even reached international heights. Fifty years later, Blue Metropolis invited contemporary francophone and anglophone authors to write an original poem inspired by one of these ten songs. The result? La vie… comme dans les chansons – Life… as a Song, a performance that pays tribute to this golden era of music. Hosted by Sylvain Massé, the performance will be made possible be the financial support of Canadian Heritage. It will be presented on October 21, 2021, at 8 p.m. at Cabaret Lion d’Or, without an in-person audience, and broadcast live online on our various platforms.
LA VIE... COMME DANS LES CHANSONS
SPECTACLE INÉDIT LE 21 OCTOBRE, 2021Les décennies 1960-1980 ont littéralement révolutionné le monde de la musique québécoise et canadienne. Les chansons inoubliables d’artistes tels que Joni Mitchell, Paul Piché, Michel Rivard et de nombreux autres sont dorénavant inscrites dans notre ADN culturel, et plusieurs de ces chansons ont en outre connu un retentissement international. Plus de cinquante ans après, Metropolis bleu a invité des poètes contemporains, francophones et anglophones, à écrire un poème inédit inspiré par dix de ces chansons. Le résultat? Le spectacle La vie… comme dans les chansons – Life… as a Song, qui rend hommage à cet âge d’or de la musique. Animé par Sylvain Massé, le spectacle sera présenté le 21 octobre 2021, à 20 h, au Cabaret Lion d’Or, sans la présence du public, et diffusé en simultané sur nos différentes plateformes.
