Madam Waits, Tom’s songs
du Bayou
11, 18 and 25 July 2023 at 21h
Théâtre de l'Adresse « Diffusion », 2 avenue de la Trillade, Avignon
A concert-show for two musicians, a singer and a strange character, based on the songs of Tom Waits.
Two musicians rough up their jazz to reveal its bumps and cracks, its trembling fragility and its boiling rage. Beside them, an odd character has brought his lights, his tools, his gadgets and a few colourful instruments.
They surround this woman who sings, chants, bangs on all sorts of things, plays the cigar box guitar, and sometimes tells her own story, through letters she has been writing to Tom Waits for nearly 20 years.
