Un p’tit caillou dans la chaussure

Pascal Chenu brings a witty, music-rich solo show devised with Annik von Kaenel, blending chansons, texts and playful satire inspired by Jacques Prévert, Francis Blanche and Bénédict Gampert. Chenu’s original compositions and piano frame a warm, theatrical concert where he is joined by longtime collaborators Véronique Mattana and Sophie Solo. The staging mixes song, dance and sharply comic asides to create an intimate, uplifting evening that oscillates between tenderness and caustic humour.

Ravel’s pages meet works by Satie, Chostakovitch, Marinetti and others in a vivid encounter between heritage and fantasy.
