Musical Play for Two Performers
(A story of censorship, featuring songs that were censored but that they’ll sing for you anyway)
The Th%E9%E2tre de Poche’s Review:
When music becomes an act of resistance. A brilliant, funny, and deeply uplifting show!
Beneath a seemingly lighthearted exterior, *Une censure sachant chanter* tackles freedom of expression, the power of songs, and the way art circumvents prohibitions with finesse and humor.
We laugh, we’re surprised, but above all, we realize just how much creativity remains a tremendous space for freedom.
A gem as delightful as it is essential.
For her, subversive songs are, above all, about provocation and conflict.
For him, they are a cry for freedom, a way to shatter taboos and challenge prohibitions.
When a show is threatened with cancellation for fear of causing offense, their visions clash. Where do you draw the line between boldness and offense? Will they ban the forbidden or censor the censors?
Following the success of “J’ai mangé du Jacques,” Julie and Raphaël take you on a journey through some of the most divisive and controversial French songs. From Brassens to Orelsan, from Pierre Perret to Philippe Katerine, the two artists share—with a healthy dose of complicity—their mischievous takes on the most sensitive topics.
PRESS EXCERPT: A show in the public interest! The show’s structure is skillfully orchestrated around a repertoire that’s a pleasure to hear again. Julie Autissier and Raphaël Callandreau are well-rounded artists who blend acting and singing in beautiful harmony. AT A GLANCE M-C NIVIERE
