"Le pitt Bihl of the Sunlights, the Louise Michel of the Music Hall, the Blue Angel of social revolt" YANOWSKI When Agnès Bihl appears on stage, dressed in a tailcoat and a top hat, an immediately strange atmosphere of an old Berlin cabaret emerges and one is instinctively plunged into the offbeat aesthetic of the paintings of Otto Dix, Klimt, or Egon Schiele... a journey to the center of the ether, at the whim of genres and eras. Here is a new show and a new album that brings for the first time Agnès Bihl to sing a repertoire other than her own, since with this Cabaret, she has gone to unearth gems of songs from the early last century. Some classics of the genre of course (Du gris, Mon amant de Saint Jean...) but especially magnificent discoveries (Les 5 étages, Ohé les copains, Moi je m'ennuie...). We encounter Fréhel, Bruant, Gilles, or Yvette Guilbert, and yet these songs could be written today as they are so relevant. Agnès Bihl adorns herself with them like a beautiful stole as they cling to her skin, with their raw emotion, their revolt, their feminism ahead of its time.
