“Empreintes” Concert-Conte-Chant-Piano

"Empreintes" is a unique artistic universe, born of the desire to explore a rarely used path: a cross between storytelling and lyrical song. The choice of musical pieces, the way in which the story, the song and the piano are intertwined, all contribute to making Empreintes much more than a simple juxtaposition of different artistic modes: a different way of telling stories.
Timeless stories that mischievously recount human nature, its hopes, doubts and aspirations: a groom spends the night with the Queen, an obsessive King counts his possessions down to the smallest speck of dust, some people think they are kings, while others have a rendezvous with Death...
Stories that suggest that today's issues are not new!
The lyrical song brings an unexpected dimension, an emotional depth that continues the narrative, prolongs it, amplifies it.
The voice that tells the story and the voice that sings intersect and combine.
The music makes the story resonate, opens up the space, gives us the opportunity to imagine.
