From 17 to 19 February 2023 the artists Émeline Bayart and Manuel Peskine perform in “Café Concert” at the Palazzetto Bru Zane with songs accompanied on the piano by Yvette Guilbert, Juliette, Bernard Joyet, Vincent Scotto, Paul de Kock.
Actress and singer Émeline Bayart loves songs that tell a story. Tales of passion, libertinage and love-hate; men and women who get bored, have affairs, and tear each other apart. Sad tales, made hilarious. Accompanied on the piano by Manuel Peskine, she draws on the café-concert repertoire and that of characterful female singers with no attempt to imitate them. She holds the melodic line, only to break it with spoken words or a change of register, moving from head voice to chest voice, from singing to speech, from a shout to a whisper. A naughty, funny, poetic recital.
After studying music at the Lille Conservatoire and theatre at the CNSMD in Paris, Émeline Bayart worked as an actress-singer and theatre and film director. She has created and directed two recitals: Affreuses, Divines et Méchantes (Opéra Comique) and D’Elle à Lui (Théâtre du Rond-Point) in collaboration with Manuel Peskine. After studying piano, writing and conducting, Manuel Peskine devoted himself to composition through classical music, jazz and world music. He has created stage music and music for films such as Ma Compagne de Nuit by Isabelle Brocard and L’Affaire Sacha Guitry by Fabrice Cazeneuve. At the same time, he continues his career as a pianist.
