The Belle Epoque of Aristide Bruant by Alain-René Georges at the Auberge du Pot Bleu in Pissotte.
Immortalised by his friend the painter Toulouse-Lautrec, Aristide Bruant is part of our collective memory. His legendary figure and best-known songs are on everyone's lips. Nini peau d'chien qu'on aime bien and A la Bastille helped him make his fortune around Le Chat Noire, Rodolphe Salis's famous cabaret.
He sang of the misery of Paris's scummiest districts and described himself as a "popular songwriter".
Anatole France called him "Le maître de la rue".
Alain-René Georges's show recounts the life of a man with an extraordinary destiny, through his qualities as well as his faults. You'll discover little-known songs and monologues. You'll rediscover those you already know, and you'll be sure to let yourself sing along, carried away by the nostalgia of Aristide Bruant's Belle Époque.
