Get ready, Adelaide – beloved French cabaret group Les Flaneurs Volants is BACQUE this Fringe season with new show Jacques and Madeleine.
Combining a love story with comedy, beautiful French music and, of course, a très magnifique French-inspired performance.
The hapless character Jacques has proved to be his own Department of Lost and Found Love. Crossing the French-speaking world on either side of the Atlantic, Jacques has taken us on an emotional journey, rendered with a palette of some of the most exquisite French songs written.
But what has Jacques learnt of love and life over 2 SOLD OUT Fringe seasons? Will he finally find that Sally for his Harry, Edith for his Marcel?
You’ll find out in this final instalment of the Jacques Trilogy, which features more beautiful French, Quebecois and Cajun songs than you can point a baguette at.
With a French soul bronzed by the Adelaide sun, Les Flâneurs Volants revels in engaging audiences through song, story and fun, evoking emotions ranging from la joie de vivre to the despair of love lost… très French, non? And seduction? Mais oui…
Covering music from the French diaspora over time and place, Les Flâneurs Volants features evocative singer Jean-Marc Spiler, pumping accordionist/keyboardist Steve Oppes, Euro-jazz guitarist John Denlay, redoubtable bass fiddler Ian Davis, cool cat sax/clarinet player Steve Eads, gipsy violinist Anne-Marie Meegan and star drummer Lewis Todd.
Les Flâneurs Volants band is travelling across Adelaide and regional South Australia this Fringe season, taking the sell-out show to the likes of Stirling Community Theatre, the beloved Wheatsheaf Hotel in Thebarton and the Institute Hall at the Gawler Civic Centre between February 18 and March 6.
