This summer, music will fill the air within the walls of the Cité Vauban in the heart of Saint Étienne Park. The Citadel of Besançon is hosting three 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 true electro-rock cabaret, "Madame ose Bashung" is a musical journey through Alain Bashung's multifaceted repertoire.
On stage, three singer-performers transform themselves into flamboyant creatures, adorned with extravagant costumes and breathtaking hairstyles.
Accompanied by six outstanding musicians, the three performers revisit the artist's greatest hits, such as "Gaby," "Vertige de l'amour," and "Osez Joséphine," with great boldness, freedom, and poetry, through inventive staging.
A colorful event not to be missed, where emotion and a festive atmosphere come together in perfect harmony.
