Getting under the skin of Edith Piaf with Nathalie Lermitte
Manage episode 482340407 series 2076516
Legendary French singer Edith Piaf was a firecracker of emotion. Gutsy and seductive, while underneath -- an intense fragility. That’s the legend. But what’s it like to play a legend, show after show, year after year? Cabaret singer Nathalie Lermitte has been inhabiting the icon Piaf for well over a decade.
Top Shelf with Josh Piterman. Josh Piterman is an Australian musical theatre star who’s used to donning all kinds of masks, especially as the Phantom of the Opera on London's West End. He’s also a certified meditation teacher and he’s just written a self-help book, about dropping the mask and being authentic. He takes us through the music and thinkers who've changed his life.
Plus — more masks!
Gail Evans and Nicky Fearn are Darwin local theatre legends. Now they’re presenting something completely different from their usual humorous, physical-theatre plays — Fair Punishment, a story based on a chilling, gothic Canadian novel that’s told through masked performance. We hear a reading performed by Merlynn Tong.
