En avant la zizique

We could do as many shows on Boris Vian - master of freedom - as he wrote songs. More than 400, it seems! The Prince of Saint-Germain des Prés - friend of Juliette Greco and Duke Ellington, trumpeter of renown - is the man who introduced burlesque to French rock. With Henri Salvador, they invented, composed and sang very quickly. And thanks to this creative madness - let's talk about an intelligence that will have exhausted many - the genial Vian has left us some musical marvels. Moving from job to job, writing, translating (even improving on the original texts), he fashioned a poetic language on all fronts. A jubilant language. En avant la zizique is a show for four artists, determined to delight our ears with Vianesque musicality. Because Boris Vian is the story of desire in art, and for us, that counts? a lot! To the songs, of which we have gladly chosen the lesser-known, we have added some of his well-placed poems. All deliciously mixed with tourniquette (to make the vinaigrette!).
