Wilson Chante Montand

Lambert Wilson, one of the most popular and esteemed actors in French cinema and theater, pays tribute to Yves Montand in a touching show which retraces the song repertoire of this great French/Italian artist.

Through texts, poetry, and music, Wilson creates a portrait of this man who came from the working class and used his ambition and talent to become a true 20^th century legend. For years he enchanted audiences all over the world without using any special effects or dancers, but only his voice and body.

Thirty tunes arranged by Bruno Fontaine and six musicians onstage, to honor such great classics as Les feuilles mortes, Gli immortali, Bicicletta, Les Grands Boulevards and Siracusa, but also a few rare pieces such as Gioielli, which was composed by Leo Ferré and based on a poem by Charles Baudelaire.
