Il porte un nom qu’on croirait inventé pour la scène. « Ducommun », un patronyme suisse, hérité de son père, qu’un jour même les Transports Lausannois avaient repris pour créer un personnage de pub : Monsieur Ducommun. Anecdote qui amuse Fabien Ducommun, chanteur revenu de loin et revenu chez lui, un peu, en Suisse, pour y présenter […]

Celui de l’artiste qui se confond : cheveux d’argent, voix nasillarde et grave, maniérisme dans le ton, élégance folle. […]

I associate it with night shifts, with forbidden games watched between two and three in the morning on the control screens at Europe 1, where I presented the sports news in 2001 and 2002. Even earlier, in the late 1990s, there were the VHS tapes from […]

A dark coworking space humming with joy, excitement, and restless energy. I arrive early, wandering through the venue like an explorer before the crowd awakens. A smoking room. A game room. An arcade console on a flat […]

Jarvis Cocker, the disjointed moonwalker, struts onto the Vaudoise Riviera like it’s a stage carved from his own daydreams. Here, in the land of Chaplin, he bends his lanky frame with the grace of a marionette possessed, throwing punchlines laced with that unmistakably British self-deprecation – the mark of an […]

A win against France in the World Cup—Swiss basketball has rarely achieved such a feat. Here’s the story. The calm joy of Lucas Maniema (FIBA) At the Vaudoise Arena in Lausanne, we witnessed a unique sports moment. Sure, the exploits […]

Melodically, he channels the spirit of many princes among his fellow British icons, including Macca, Mozza, and Robbie. His 40-minute set […]
Lire la suite de "Joseph Arthur in the Church : magic and loss"Mylène Lormier est comédienne. Elle illumine les scènes où elle se produit. Je n’exagère pas. Elle joue beaucoup sur les contrastes d’ambiances, les variations autour du texte, les aspérités dans l’expression du langage. Et elle provoque des scènes émouvantes. Il lui faut une très grande maîtrise pour assurer seule en scène un tempo relevé, des […]

His slightly unbuttoned white shirt exudes charisma, and the audience is immediately hooked. The set is a visual ode to Morrissey’s Hand in Glove era: faux carnations spill […]
