In collaboration with the US Embassy & as part of Voilah! French Festival 2017
I shall dance all my life. . .. I would
like to die, breathless, spent, at the end of a dance.
Josephine Baker, 1927
A new Bellepoque production, Scents of Josephine, is an exploration of the multicultrual life of African American jazz icon and civil rights activitst, Josephine Baker, through the lens of four female performers.Intrigued by what they know of Josephine, these
artists discuss her life journey alongside theirs, accompanied with her
signature tunes in both English and French.
The play is a celebration of the scandalous, innovative
and daring dancer-singer who shook Europe and the rest of the world from the
20's and up till her death in 1975; it also questions the struggles of an
artist - and especially one of colour- and how these issues are relevant to us
in this day and age.
Based on an original play
by Marc Goldberg, the show features a multinational cast:
Andayoma, jazz singer
Sharon Frese, actress
Caitanya Tan,
actress-singer
Sabrina Zuber, classical
singer
