To honor what would have been the legendary French singer's 100th birthday, RIOULT Dance NY presents Pascal Rioult's World Premiere of STREET SINGER - Celebrating the Life of Edith Piaf during the company's one-of-a-kind New York Season at 42West. The evening-length work - performed by RIOULT Dance NY - features Broadway star Christine Andreas in the title role. The performances will occur in the intimate cabaret setting of 42West in The OUT NYC hotel - complete with drinks and live music for an immersive performance event.
French-born, Pascal Rioult grew up with Piaf's emotive music. "This evening will conjure her dramatic, inspiring life, as she rose from the dark streets of Paris to the glamorous lights of Broadway," he notes. "In the emotional and psychological situations she crooned about, Piaf famously gave a voice to the everyday man; this is the premise I hope to share with today's audiences as the work travels through her real and imaginary struggles, success, and art."
PERFORMANCE SCHEDULE:
WEDNESDAY thru SATURDAY @ 8 PM
