Trintignant/Mille/Piazzolla
As part of FIL 2024, we are presenting two recorded performances that bridge the gap between theatre and cinema: a reading of Serge Gainsbourg's poems by actors Jane Birkin, Michel Piccoli, and Hervé Pierre; and a reading of libertarian poems by Jean-Louis Trintignant, set to Piazzolla's music performed by accordionist Daniel Mille.
Jean-Louis Trintignant and Daniel Mille have been performing together for over ten years. In 1999, they shared the Lion d'Or stage for us to the rhythm of Aragon's La valse des adieux, then moved us with Apollinaire's Poèmes à Lou at Cinquième Salle in 2006, and with Les poètes libertaires at Théâtre Outremont in 2012.
For this latest and most ambitious collaborative project, the actor has entwined his favorite libertarian poems with the music of Astor Piazzolla, arranged and orchestrated by Samuel Strouk and performed by accordionist Daniel Mille and his string quartet.
