Produced by Concert Extraordinaire, designed and directed by Gil Marsalla, this is a must-see show of the season. Olivier Laurent embodies Brel, breathing life into the lyrics of his greatest songs as if his very soul depended on it.
Many describe him as a reincarnation. On stage, Olivier Laurent doesn’t imitate Brel—he becomes Brel. Through his passion, irony, tenderness, and exceptional voice, he revives Brel's greatest songs, evoking tears, joy, and awe in audiences across Paris, Montreal, New York, Stockholm, Beirut, London, and Dubai. This performance is a magnificent homage to the greatest French-speaking singer Belgium has ever known.
Accompanied by four exceptional musicians, Olivier Laurent gives his all, embodying the frenetic rhythm of *La Valse à mille temps* with passion and elegance, performing classics like *Ces gens-là*, *Les Vieux*, and *Les Bigotes*. He even helps us rediscover *Voir un ami pleurer* from the album *Les Marquises*, a song Jacques Brel never had the chance to perform live. This is a poetic masterpiece and an awe-inspiring performance guaranteed to give you chills!
Jacques Brel is alive! Or at least, that’s how it feels when you see and hear Olivier Laurent on stage. This talented vocal impressionist has traveled the globe for years, passionately sharing his love for Jacques Brel’s music. And how he does it!
