Description

Between song and spoken word, L'Homme Héron offers a poetic and uncompromising perspective on our contemporary era.<p> The Heron Man is a way of seeing the world with the poetic distance of a bird. A bit perched, too, like a bird!<br><br> Alone on stage, this singer-spoken-slam poet transforms time and space, flitting between piano, synthesizers, looper, and the sweeping curves of his large, asymmetrical coat. A concert with the feel of a show, a singer with the presence of a character.<br><br> Drawing on the sources of spoken word, he combines a frenzy of words with the energy of an instrumentation with electro accents, composing a captivating blend in a neo-vintage atmosphere.<br><br> Like a human whistleblower, the Heron Man invites us, with feigned lightness, to gain perspective, to awaken the way we look at our so-called ordinary lives. Between laughter and emotion, he delivers a committed, necessary, and above all, humanist message!<br><br> After the release of his album Drôles d'Espèces in February, L'Homme Héron lands at the Avignon OFF Festival for the concert show tour.</p><p> Francis Cabrel: "A truly remarkable world, a lot of poetry, theatricality, beautiful writing – it makes a big impression."<br><br> Our Enchanters: "On stage, he's a complete artist, who reimagines our earth and its strange birds..."<br><br> Francofans: "He takes a stand, denounces the wheeler-dealers, sings about wonderful characters..."<br><br> Publik'Art: "The Heron Man is a true concept, a great freedom reminiscent of glorious predecessors like Jacques Higelin or Philippe Katerine"<br><br> Southwest: "He happily draws the viewer into his whimsical and poetic world, which is waiting to be discovered."</p>
