Jacques Brel: The Rage to Live

About the Show

2008 marks the 30th anniversary of Jacques Brel’s death from lung cancer. He was 49. Brel had hurled himself quite literally against life, writing, performing, touring, drinking and smoking through countless sleepless nights and passionate love affairs. Then in 1966 his life changed. Brel’s songs range from the light-hearted to the often dark and bitter, mocking nationalism, religion, love and death. This one-man play with 15 of his most vivid songs takes an intimate look into the soul of an immense artist.
