Under the Grand Palais glass roof, the stage ignites with a burning melancholy. Musicians Hélder Gonçalves and Manuela Azevedo transform the farewell into a vibrant celebration: between incandescent fado, French chanson and feverish blues, this night promises an intense musical journey, carried by nostalgia.
Musicians on stage in Tiago Rodrigues' No Yogurt for the dead , Hélder Gonçalves and Manuela Azevedo, also form the duo at the center of Clã, one of the most prominent musical projects on the Portuguese scene. At the invitation of the Grand Palais, they draw inspiration from the play to create a unique concert, a journey of farewell and absence expressed through song.
Blending fado, French chanson, and blues, a night of utterly intense nostalgia awaits you under the Grand Palais glass roof.
