“It’s an act of rebellion”: Bilal Hassani performs “L’Affreuse”, an intimate show where he bares himself

The song is currently titled “Elle”. Bilal Hassani addresses this “she” who is in him. The lyrics are so personal and intense that he shares them on stage with his back to the audience. In case emotion overwhelms him. And this was the case last Tuesday, at the Maison de la radio et de la musique, in the middle of rehearsals for the Hyper Weekend festival, where he will play on Sunday. Even though he sang in front of fifteen people, half of them relatives, his voice broke on the chorus. He bursts into tears. His pianist stops. But he quickly recovers, finishes his text and his filming to applause.

This is called getting naked. For his return to music, after two years of absence, the young artist – he is only 25 years old –, revealed ten years ago by The Voice Kids, is launching a new challenge with a one-hour show in French and piano-voice, on a cubic stage covered with white curtains.
