Exotic Journey
In the 19th century, developments in transport and the taste for foreign travel were clearly linked to the fashion for the exotic. Beneath the costume (literally and metaphorically) of a beautiful courtesan, a Spanish temptress or a "Bohemian girl", pretty actresses could show all their... talents: flirt became tart, exoticism became eroticism, in the flutter of an eyelash.

Françoise Le Golvan, vocal
Emmanuel Olivier, piano
Art songs, the pleasure of writing: Nadaud, Couté, Georgius
Nadaud, Couté and Georgius set out to protect their writings and their songs by performing them themselves, in the Salons, in cafés-concerts, and in the last cabarets of Montmartre, respectively. Three representatives of their time, never at a loss for words; three poets brought together for the pleasure of language.

Susan Manoff, piano
Jean Godement, Josette Stein, puppeteers
