About the event

Musicians: Žiga Golob, Uroš Rakovec, Krunoslav Levačić
Jacques Brel (1929–1978), the Belgian-French composer, singer, poet and actor, is the author of evocative poetry and metaphors that invite us into a sensitive labyrinth of experiencing life. As listeners, we also become the heroes of his stories that blend with our own experiences. Many 20th-century musicians have tackled Brel’s legacy. The legendary Ne me quitte pas (or, as Završan translated it, Saj ne boš kar šla), for example, was covered by Marlene Dietrich, Mireille Mathieu, Nana Mouskouri, Natacha Atlas, Sting and others. In this concert, actor Branko Završan will introduce us to Brel’s chansons in his translations and interpretation.
