“For 14 years, I have brought Edith Piaf back to life”, says Gary Jeenson, singer and voice imitator. Born in Béthune, in Pas-de-Calais, Gary indulges his passion for singing by immersing himself in various artists including Dalida, Mylène Farmer and many others. “For Édith Piaf, I am attacking my fifteenth year. It is also the very first character I worked on. I’m not a transformist because I don’t play back, I sing live. “
So to revive the icon of French song, Gary refines the character by repeating tirelessly. “Up to seven hours of rehearsals per week! I visualize the body language, I work on the voice, I watch all the reports concerning it. For four months, I have been training to accentuate the physical transformation. “
On stage, for this show which is due to take place on April 24 at the Terre-de-Sel space, around twenty songs will be performed, “Including six or seven at the piano”. Didier Luneau, a pianist from Nantes passionate about classical music and French varieties, will accompany the artist from Bari. “I regularly go to Nantes to rehearse with him. I will sing, in duet with Luc Avrilleau, What’s the point of love ? » A whimsical singer from Saint-Philbert-de-Grandlieu and also an ardent defender of French song like Gary, Luc Avrilleau will also take the stage to interpret period songs.
