This summer, in the heart of the Parc Saint Étienne, music will resound within the walls of the Cité Vauban. The Citadelle de Besançon offers 3 evening concerts, on July 10, 11 and 12, as part of its summer program.
Queer Cabaret "Madame Ose Bashung" in partnership with Le Cercle
A veritable electro-rock cabaret, "Madame ose Bashung" is a musical journey through Alain Bashung's multi-faceted repertoire.
On stage, 3 singer-performers metamorphose into flamboyant creatures, adorned with extravagant costumes and breathtaking hairstyles.
Accompanied by 6 outstanding musicians, the 3 performers boldly, freely and poetically revisit the artist's greatest hits, such as "Gaby", "Vertige de l'amour" and "Osez Joséphine", in a series of inventive stagings.
A colorful event not to be missed, where emotion and festivity come together to perfection.
And also as an opening act...
