Description

Christine Bovill travels into the 60s and the Americanisation of French music: le yé-yé. A time of great cultural change in France, would the high art of chanson survive...? This sell-out show at the 2022 Edinburgh Fringe, offers a sensuous and delicious celebration of the Golden Age of French song and how it evolved during the Swinging Sixties. Singing in both French and English, Bovill honours many stars including Edith Piaf, Jacques Brel, Serge Gainsbourg and Francoise Hardy.
