Square Joël Le Tac, Place Constantin Pecqueur, France - Paris

Outdoor show: Discover famous writers who have stayed or written on the Montmartre hill. The artist will interpret all the characters, with a different incarnation each time. Feel in situ the literary universes, the unusual anecdotes, and the words of the authors. The show is followed by an aperitif at the artist's home.

The show revolves around some famous writers who wrote or stayed on the Butte Montmartre. The narrator, Joël Le Tac is a journalist, resistance fighter, companion of the Liberation, deported and finally deputy of the 18th arrondissement. He meets the public on his square, then guides them through some typical places of Montmartre, while making them discover Francis Carco, Roland Dorgelès, Pierre Mac Orlan, and some other known authors. The artist will interpret all the characters mentioned, with a different incarnation each time. The literary public will discover the literary universes, unusual anecdotes and words of authors interpreted in situ.

The Butte Montmartre is a place very frequented by tourists, and the visits offered are extremely varied and abundant. Spectators will either be seated on the benches of the square if they are free, then standing on the course, or standing on the entire course. The show is not static, the public accompanies the artist over a distance of about 600 m. This show is at once literary, historical, and moving by the empathy aroused by the characters and anecdotes.

The show is followed by an aperitif at the artist's apartment nearby.
