Vincent Delerm - Memory

Since starting out on his career in 2002, Vincent Delerme has approached each of his shows from a musical as well as a theatrical angle by suggestin g a revitalised version of the classic song recital and adding film, voice overs and varied monologues to highlight his concerts.This time he goes one step further by staging a show written like a play and filled with new songs (which contrary to usual practice, have not already been released in an album). The role of Simon which he plays (in the company of the musician Nicolas Mathuriau) is obsessed by the flight of time. He throws all his energy into trying to hold onto Simon, in detailing all the episodes of his life and in analysing the way in which trends which he has known have become out of date.Using various different films and instruments connected to each era (the 1970’s super 8, video recording images from the 1980s, independent films from the 90s), he draws a melancholic but humouristic picture of our relationship with time, and the solitude of memories. He shares this stage production with Macha Makeïeff.
