The goal: to present Jacques Brel's music, life and thoughts in a direct, minimalist, intimate way. Carefully crafted and exquisitely interpreted, Cedric Vandenschrik and Stella Konik have proved irrevocably the timelessness and relevance of Brel's work.

The setting:  a pianist and a singer, exposed to the audience. Cedric's Belgian background is a variable that does not go unnoticed, since Brel was himself Belgian. This allows him to dive into the Brel Character and expose its most intimate aspects.

The songs:  Brel's songs are masterful descriptions of everyday situations, tying eternal emotional links with bitter sweet characters in “Marike”, “Les Bourgeois”, “The old Folks” and many more.
Many of the songs are sung in the original French, but the clever script combined with a smattering of songs in English allows non-French speakers to understand and enjoy the full meaning of the performance, bringing them closer to the true essence of Brel.

The result: "a show of lyrical power and beauty"
(Barry Ronge, theatre critic, The Star Tonight)
