Bénabar

Bénabar stops in Montmorillon on January 16, 2027, at Espace Gartempe. Author, composer and performer, he shapes his songs like short stories: kitchen scenes, family gatherings, missed appointments and dialogues that feel snatched from real life. His writing, precise and playful, clings to detail and humour to sketch a portrait of everyday life, balanced between tenderness and restrained irony.

On stage, he cultivates the art of storytelling: he sets a scene, slips in a line, shifts the tempo and carries the audience along a narrative thread that is as much concert as theatre. You’ll encounter his signature numbers, from “Le Dîner” to other familiar vignettes, interwoven with more recent pieces. The whole rests on supple, melodic arrangements, somewhere between pop, touches of jazz and light swing.

This event highlights ensemble interplay, an address to the audience and a sense of rhythm that brings the characters to life. A concert conceived as a moving chronicle, where each song becomes a short film of reality.
