Piaf's life was the stuff of legend, from her dramatic rise from Paris street urchin to star of international renown. Her life, however, was anything but 'la vie en rose'. Towards the end of her life, ravaged by pain and injury, Piaf turned to drugs to find comfort and solace, never able to believe that she was indeed loved by countless thousands of fans the world over. As the 50th anniversary of Piaf's death approaches, this powerful celebration comes from a company whose credentials include Kneehigh Theatre and Canteve Vocale. The show features La vie en Rose, Sous le Ciel de Paris, Bal dans ma Rue, Autumn Leaves, Padam Padam, C'est Merveilleux, L'Accordéoniste, Non je ne regrette rien… as well as a narrative thread. Since her debut at the Royal Festival Hall in Feb 2002, Eve Loiseau has given recitals in England, New York and France and has featured on BBC R3, WNYC Radio, PMW Music and the BBC production The Roman Mysteries. Eve performs with Canteve Vocale and the baroque ensemble Duo Dolcetini. www.piaf-the-songs.co.uk
