Patti
Smith is in Paris for two concerts at the Grand Rex, Friday October 8
and Saturday October 9. It had been more than two years since the
singer, a great Francophile, had not returned to France. A few weeks
away from her 75th birthday, the rock poet keeps her energy intact in
concert, and an asserted science of symbolism, as evidenced by the week
she has just passed.
Great men the grateful
country. And as a tall woman, Patti Smith was at the Pantheon on
Thursday. The singer recorded a mini-concert there, with her daughter
and son, succeeding Sting the day before, as part of Fip radio’s 50th
anniversary. A magical and unique moment which will be broadcast on
November 26 on the musical radio station.
For
Patti Smith, it is a strong symbol, one more, of her attachment to the
great French figures, to a heritage that she admires, as when she had
sung in 2017 in the Notre-Dame-du-Haut chapel of Ronchamp, imagined by
Le Corbusier, as part of the GéNéRiQ festival. “Me here, I want to take
pictures, says the singer. I want to sing, I feel the life, I don’t feel
the weight of the world and I am happy. “
This
is why the singer is “overexcited” We are told, just as she is eagerly
awaiting her two concerts at the Grand Rex, as she has hit the road for a
few dates in the United States and Italy in recent months. While
waiting to carry out another project opening up to artists Arthur
Rimbaud’s maternal farm, which she bought, in Roche in the Ardennes. For
Patti Smith, France is worth more than a career. (
