Just like Léo Ferré, she is adamant that transposing poetry into music makes it more accessible, and tackles poetic writing the way she would tales. This musical Singulis is the opportunity to come hear her deliver her favourite repertoire through song.
From Baudelaire to Genet, from Rimbaud to René Guy Cadou, she explores the thousand nuances used to express love in poetry, whether serious or bubbly, and opted for the fortuitous fusion of words and music. She sings the poets’ work to express love in its every form, celebrating friendship with composer, arranger and instrumentalist Benoît Urbain, a regular of the house’s musica lescapades. On stage, he plays the piano and the accordion while she sometimes grabs her guitar. Véronique Vella mentions Louis Aragon, who mused “I sing to pass the time”. This recital is a stroll in poetic land featuring two artists who spend their time feverishly roaming it.
