Thomas Fersen - Comme on quitte un imperméable

Thomas Fersen returns with Comme on quitte un imperméable. On October 8, 2026 at La Scala, he presents a set in which his stories settle between song and narrative. A writer with a playful pen, he sketches characters in silhouette, talkative animals and everyday figures, carried by supple melodies and rhythms in chiaroscuro. His half-spoken, half-sung delivery, close to storytelling, creates an intimacy that brings out detail, displacements and wordplay.

With a guitar or ukulele slung over his shoulder, and sometimes at the piano, Fersen opts for pared-down arrangements that let the texture of the words come through. One can trace the path he has taken from Le Bal des oiseaux to his more recent songs — a repertoire to be listened to like a notebook of short stories. His literary ventures enrich the stage: a taste for imagery, a keen sense of rhythm, the art of omission, all without unnecessary effects.

Comme on quitte un imperméable thus maps a course of songs at human scale, between light refrains and more intimate pieces. Join us at La Scala, 13 boulevard de Strasbourg, Paris, on October 8, 2026.
