Conceived and directed by the Nice-based theatrical maverick Gil Marsalla and starring Anne Carrere, a young French performer hailed as “Edith Piaf’s legitimate musical heiress” PIAF!, THE SHOW premiered in 2015 as a tribute to “The Swallow of Montmartre” on the centennial on her birthday and was inspired by the award-winning movie La Vie En Rose. In two 45-minute acts, the show narrates the rags-to-riches story of the Parisian singer’s career through her unforgettable songs, complemented by a visual tapestry of previously unreleased photographs and images of famous Parisian locations of the Edith Piaf era.
“Édith Piaf’s music still stirs deep emotions,” said Alan Nobili, Alliance Française du Manitoba Executive Director. “She remains an icon of Paris and chanson française. She inspired and keeps inspiring numerous artists. We are proud to contribute to the success of this remarkable show in Winnipeg!”
