Théâtre - Victor HugoAt : n°1 du rap français
Laugh, learn and revise. An intelligent, accessible show that will appeal to literature fans and hip-hop enthusiasts alike! Show for all audiences Running time: 1h15
A one-man show as funny as it is moving
If Victor Hugo had lived today, he would have been the best rapper ever!
Bart is convinced of this, and demonstrates it brilliantly in a show that reconciles his two passions: the words of Victor Hugo and Rap.
Part humorous lecture, part play and part rap performance, this hybrid show will appeal to fans of flows, punchlines and the poet's work. Bart explores the life of the literary monster to build, verse by verse, the final biographical rap.
In a show that is both a tribute to the man and to contemporary French music, he recreates the Battle of Hernani, mourns the death of Léopoldine, thrills to Hugo?s political speeches and engages in dialogue with the master himself!
All the while, guest stars such as Jul, Nekfeu, PNL, Gazo and Soprano lend a hand
Breaking down the boundaries between classical literature and urban culture, bal(l)ading from verse to rhyme, from word to rhythm, this creation - awarded the Prix du Jury at ICART 2024 - is a success and an original re-reading of Hugo?s genius.
