Fanny Ardant, Beth Gibbons (Portishead) ou encore ses filles Lou Doillon et Charlotte Gainsbourg: un concert-hommage réunit une vingtaine d'artistes samedi à L'Olympia à Paris, pour dire adieu sur scène à Jane Birkin, disparue à l'été 2023, à 76 ans.

Ce spectacle "Jane Birkin by friends", joué au profit des Restos du Cœur, s'appuie sur un casting élégant composé "d'amis, d'intimes, d'artistes avec qui elle a collaboré ou qu'elle aimait", décrit pour l'AFP Jean-Louis Piérot, directeur musical de l'événement.

Ce musicien aux multiples talents avait, en tandem avec son complice Etienne Daho, cousu sur mesure le dernier album, "Oh ! Pardon tu dormais..." (2020), de l'Anglaise préférée des Français.

C'est le concert créé pour défendre ce disque sur scène -- show qui comprend aussi des classiques comme "Les dessous chics", par exemple -- qui est repris à L'Olympia.

00:00 Fanny Ardant, Bette Gibon, Portichide, or her daughters Lou Doyon and Charlotte Gainsbourg,
00:05 a tribute concert brought together twenty artists on Saturday at the Olympia in Paris
00:08 to say goodbye to Jane Birkin, who disappeared in the summer of 2023 at 76 years old.
00:13 This show "Jane Birkin by Friends", played at the profit of the "Restos du Chœur",
00:18 is based on an elegant casting composed of friends, intimates, artists with whom she collaborated or loved,
00:24 described for the musical director Jean-Louis Pierrot.
00:28 This musician with multiple talents had, in tandem with his accomplice Etienne Dao,
00:32 tailor-made the last album, "Oh! Pardon tu dormais", 2020, of the favorite English of the French.
00:40 It is the concert created to defend this record on stage that also includes classics
00:45 like the two Sous-Chics, for example which is resumed at the Olympia.
00:48 About twenty titles and as many performers, including, in addition to those already mentioned,
00:53 Dominika, Carla Bruni, Jarvis Cocker, Marion Cotillard, Thomas Dutronc, Arthur H,
00:59 Keren Han, Sandrine Kiberlin, M, Abedé Almalik, Mickey 3D, Miosec, Vanessa Paradis,
01:06 Edi de Pretto and Catherine Ringer.
01:08 Different health problems had contradicted the tour of Jane Birkin, who, every time she was better,
01:14 had asked her historical manager Olivier Glusman to find her a new date for the Olympia.
01:19 She absolutely insisted and, after her funeral, we told Olivier and Etienne that we were going to do at the Olympia,
01:24 rigorously, the concert that we had to do there with Jane, continues Jean-Louis Pierrot.
01:29 We appreciate.
01:31 Unlike the usual tributes, the invited artists will have to slip into Jane's footsteps on stage,
01:36 for a show made with the same musicians and the same arrangements as was planned for her.
01:41 We, these musicians, we all appreciate a lot.
01:45 Emotionally, moments may be difficult but this concert will allow us to make Jane's musical mourning,
01:50 concludes Jean-Louis Pierrot.
01:52 Dominika had written for Jane Birkin the song "Where is the City?" on the album Fiction (2006)
01:58 where we also found the Englishman Bette Gibbon, voice of Portichid, behind the title "My Secret".
02:04 He will sing at the Olympia one of the titles "Poignant de haut".
02:07 "Pardon tu dormais".
02:09 In which Jane Birkin addressed the death of her daughter Kate,
02:12 "Ces murs épais, moi dehors, toi dessous, cris muets, muets.
02:16 Plus haut.
02:18 Pardon tu dormais, plus, c'est un peu un portrait de famille, un album cathartique",
02:22 sums up Dominika, seduit par le chant de Jane Birkin,
02:26 who became more and more inhabited over the years.
02:29 Jane had this ability to transmit an emotion, of the experience.
02:33 "On sent la vie qui passe dans sa voix", underlines the singer again.
02:37 Plus haut.
02:38 Pardon tu dormais, plus, c'est tellement personnel ce disque",
02:42 entrusted Jane Birkin to the AFP at the time of her release.
02:45 "Comme disait Serge Gainsbourg, quand c'est plus banal bleu plus,
02:49 tout est lisse, sublime, on n'est pas tenté d'écrire.
02:53 Quand il y a séparation, blessure, là on voit des nuages à la William Turner qui arrive",
02:58 added she.
02:59 Quoting one of the men of her life and an English impressionist,
03:02 "Chez qui, l'un comme l'autre, la lumière côtoyait une part d'ombre".
