Her songs are eternal<\/em> &#8220;, says Marie-Th\u00e9r\u00e8se Fortin.<\/p>\n<p>Almost 30 years ago, actress Marie-Th\u00e9r\u00e8se Fortin and pianist Yves L\u00e9veill\u00e9 created a show to pay tribute to a major figure in French chanson, Barbara.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cBarbara has an indescribable effect on people\u201d<\/em>, says Ms. Fortin. \u201c<em>She sends shivers down our spines, she gets inside us. Her reading of the human soul is both personal and universal. Poets have this power to rally and captivate us. In my case, she took possession of my soul.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>&#8220;I&#8217;m an actress who sings. I try to convey my sensibility, and deliver as accurately as possible what I retain from her words. My partners and I want to bring Barbara&#8217;s work to life and make it exciting.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The show will take an overview of Barbara&#8217;s career, including her lesser-known songs as well as her must-haves, such as <em>Perlimpinpin, G\u00f6ttingen, Le Soleil noir<\/em> and <em>Le mal de vivre<\/em>, among others. The artist promises to reveal all aspects of the singer, in a very pared-down format, reminiscent of Barbara in her early days.<\/p>\n<p>With her show<em> Marie-Th\u00e9r\u00e8se Fortin chante Barbara, <\/em>the actress aims to get back to basics, to words and melodies.<\/p>\n<p><em>&#8220;Her character as a grande dame dressed all in black has often overshadowed her talent as a poet and her sense of melody. I want people to rediscover her songs and want to hear her again,&#8221; <\/em>she explains.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the similarity in the timbre of their voices, Marie-Th\u00e9r\u00e8se Fortin makes no attempt to imitate the singer on stage.<\/p>\n<p>She sings 25 pieces created by the immortal interpreter of <em>L&#8217;aigle noir.<\/em> &#8220;<em>Not to imitate her<\/em>,&#8221; she warns, &#8220;<em>but to bring her back to life, in the space of an intimate show<\/em>.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;<em>Words are my whole life. And as Barbara was very theatrical in her songs, I find myself in familiar territory<\/em>,&#8221; she explains.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c<em>Barbara&#8217;s songs are like little films<\/em>,&#8221; she says. \u201c<em>From the very first notes, she sets the scene and sees, from image to image, a piece of life&#8217;s story<\/em>.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Yves L\u00e9veill\u00e9<\/strong> &#8211; Pianist and composer<\/p>\n<p>Yves L\u00e9veill\u00e9 is renowned both for his compositions and arrangements, and for his many musical collaborations with leading jazzmen, singers, songwriters, actors and stage directors.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s hard to summarize all his works and collaborations, as well as all his world tours and albums, almost all of which have won awards. L\u00e9veill\u00e9 is a prolific, generous and extremely gifted artist. He is regularly asked to present his work in Canada, Asia, Europe and the United States.<\/p>\n<p>He is the recipient of the Andr\u00e9 Gagnon Prize (instrumental music) from the Spacq Foundation. Some of his award-winning albums include <em>Chor\u00e9graphie <\/em>(FND103) which retraces the pianist&#8217;s creations over the past three years, and was selected by <u>Le Devoir<\/u> newspaper as one of the five best jazz albums of 2010. With pianist Fran\u00e7ois Bourassa, he takes part in the En Trois Couleurs project initiated by percussion soloist Marie-Jos\u00e9e Simard. The concert won top honors in the Concert of the Year | Jazz category of the Prix Opus 2012-2013.<\/p>\n<p>Yves L\u00e9veill\u00e9 reunites with Marie-Th\u00e9r\u00e8se Fortin, with whom he has collaborated for many years as piano accompanist and arranger, on <em>Marie-Th\u00e9r\u00e8se Fortin chante Barbara<\/em>. In this show, Yves L\u00e9veill\u00e9&#8217;s pared-down arrangements sometimes evoke jazz, sometimes a world of impressionist colors.<\/p>\n<p>.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row full_width=&#8221;stretch_row_content_no_spaces&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1716913446080{margin-top: 40px !important;padding-right: 5% !important;padding-left: 5% !important;background-color: #0f76a8 !important;}&#8221;][vc_column][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1718567608894{padding-right: 5% !important;padding-left: 5% !important;}&#8221;]Marie-Th\u00e9r\u00e8se Fortin sings Barbara[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row gap=&#8221;30&#8243; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1716914905005{padding-right: 5% !important;padding-left: 5% !important;background-color: #ffffff !important;}&#8221;][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/3&#8243; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1716913618367{padding-left: 5% !important;background-color: #ffffff !important;}&#8221;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;1330&#8243; img_size=&#8221;large&#8221; add_caption=&#8221;yes&#8221; css=&#8221;&#8221;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;1546&#8243; img_size=&#8221;medium&#8221; add_caption=&#8221;yes&#8221; css=&#8221;&#8221;][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;2\/3&#8243;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;] A critically acclaimed show finally in the Eastern Townships!
