Thomas Fersen « Comme on quitte un imperméable »

On October 17, 2026, at La Scala in Paris, Thomas Fersen presents Comme on quitte un imperméable. A singer-songwriter with a taste for chiaroscuro tales, he mixes songs and spoken texts to unfold his stories in measured steps, between deadpan humour and discreet melancholy. Familiar figures turn up: a domestic bestiary, objects that speak and slightly skewed characters, in the manner of contemporary fables. His pen toys with rhymes that slip, precise imagery and gentle offbeats, with that oblique way of storytelling that has marked his albums since Le bal des oiseaux.

The show moves forward in little sketches, wry confidences and refrains that stay in the head, without forcing the effect. Fersen works language as if it were a set, making the detail that catches the ear emerge, and sustains a supple dialogue between narration and melody. People come to listen to the words and their detours in the auditorium of La Scala, 13 boulevard de Strasbourg, Paris’s 10th arrondissement.
