Pierre Lapointe

Pierre Lapointe returns to the stage with a concert conceived as a return to the essentials of song, where his writing and voice rest on arrangements for two pianos. After a richly layered album, he reopens his repertoire, refines it, sheds new light on it and plays with the contrasts that run through his lyrics. Between gentle irony and raw emotion, he lets moods circulate—from a smile to a shiver—while retaining the narrative sense that has become his signature. See you on May 7, 2026 at Le MeM in Rennes.

At the heart of the production, the pianist duo Fortin‑Poirier unfolds a close-knit dialogue that supports and shakes up the songs without weighing them down. Melodies reveal themselves in new colors—sometimes stripped-down, sometimes more urgent—always in service of the words. This set emphasizes intimacy: a pared-back stage, the energy of the two pianos, and Lapointe navigating between confidences and more theatrical flights, for a moment that moves through moods with natural ease and precision.
