Chansons not only from Paris

„Constellation périphérique“ is the name given by Christophe Bourdoiseau to his French chanson programme, created especially for our „Hommage à Paris“. The lyrics to the sensitive and catchy chansons composed by this globetrotting artist (born in Holland, raised in Italy and France, now happily settled in Berlin) are poems by Louis Aragon, Charles Baudelaire, Arthur Rimbaud as well as original texts. Bourdoiseau, who in fact only started writing chansons after arriving in Berlin, can be said to be the descendent of the great troubadours of the 20th century.
And that is also a message of „Hommage à Paris“: Even if one or the other Berliner believes Dessau to be located in the sticks, this city of classical modernity, were it to be found on a map of greater Paris, would certainly be assigned to the urban periphery, comparable with the richly historical suburb of St. Denis where France buried its kings. We don't want to give the Berliners any unwanted advice, but many examples show that life on the supposed margins is exciting enough, and that dramatic life stories unfold there… stories which are often sung with such tenderness in chansons.

Vive Paris, vive la périphérie!
