Jacques Brel is Alive and Well and Living in Paris est un collage de plusieurs des oeuvres de Brel mais est bien plus qu’une simple revue musicale. Il n’y a pas d’histoire, pas de personnage si ce n’est que quatre chanteurs, deux hommes et deux femmes, nous présentant qu’un seul et unique personnage Jacques Brel. Ses oeuvres nous sont ici livrées avec une expression théâtrale vive dans cette intense expérience musicale, mettant en vedette quelques-unes des plus marquantes de ses créations chantées en français ainsi que dans leurs traductions anglaises. // Jacques Brel is Alive and Well and Living in Paris is a collection of Brel’s work, but it is more than a revue. There is no plot, there are no characters; rather, it is four singers, two men and two women, portraying one character: Jacques Brel. His profound songs are brought to vivid theatrical life in this intense musical experience, featuring some of Brel’s most passionate works sung in both English and French.
