A singer, songwriter, actor, and the
director of two films, Jacques Brel was an international star. As a
musician, the native of Brussels was known for writing poetic songs
protesting the power of the bourgeoisie and for those paying tribute to
his beloved Belgium. He began his career singing in French cafés. His
songs, frequently sharply satirical and often implicitly religious, are hugely popular in Europe. In 1966, Brel created his famed stage
show, Jacques Brel Is Alive and Well and Living in Paris.
Enjoy the show in a typical Parisian bistro atmosphere in our beloved cellar theatre with the 'action' taking place (as you have come to expect from Upstart) all around you. Intimate and extraordinary.
In keeping with our international setting, the songs will be performed in English, French, German and Flemish.
