Piaf, it’s primarily a voice, stupendous, omnipresent, immortal, that goes beyond time and boundaries. Which female dancer, which actress can embody Piaf?
She is without substance; she is only love, an adored presence and agonizing to the other. Crossing the mirrors of loneliness, she jumps into the other’s arms, each time another, the same, always. Men– she discovered them, loved them, gave birth to them, sublimated them. Men are her strength, her joy, her eternity, created by her, they lived thanks to her, became all, eternally, Piaf.
