The French crazy poet sings out his cheery songs on stage against a backdrop of original illustrations designed by one of the key figure of new French comics. Fersen and Sfar, what a twosome!

Somewhere between Prévert and Doisneau, Thomas Fersen chose to take the side road of melancholy and strangeness, thus holding a singular stand in the landscape of French music. The famous and creative Joann Sfar who directed the video clip of Hyacinthe (he is also an enthousiastic ukulele player) will improvise live illustrations to the baroque imaginary world of the musician, bringing a delighting and unexpected counterpoint to the music and lyrics of Thomas Fersen.
