In a previous show, look at the falling snow…, Barbara’s loneliness resonated with that of Tchekhov. Then,in our Lagarce cabaret,two others of his songs,Merry Christmas and the Mignons,brought a little lightness and fantasy to our trip to the work of Jean-Luc Lagarce. Today, after being walked for a long time (more than 260 performances) in the life of these two authors that are dear to us, it is indeed quite naturally in the universe of Barbara that we have chosen to immerse ourselves, and to redo this work of “detective” which sorts, chosen, selects, puts side by side …

But it is challenging to tell and it is also unfeasible to understand Barbara, her songs, without knowing childhood and injuries, because they have never left her. She was joyful, she was life, but also doubt and concern. forgetting was a protection, its songs, an outlet. His injuries, they will be present in our trip, of course, but always approached with great modesty and delicacy. And as Barbara had life reserves, we will bounce back, each time, happily and musically, to share with the public, in great simplicity this long path which led her from the Cabaret de l’Cléuse in 1958, to the last Châtelet of 1993, of course passing through the coronation of Pantin, in 1981.

To reconstruct this puzzle, we will pull sons who will go through a childhood flight, train from train, from home to house, then a street youth in street, galley in a galley, from cabaret in cabaret to this life of a woman who sings, from city to town and from theater to theater!
