The cultural program at the Colisée de Chartres is really taking off this week, with the arrival of two artists from the new generation who are making the news. Here’s what awaits you.
1/ Zaho de Sagazan
“It’s always nice above the clouds.” How many times have we heard The Symphony of Lightningsince its release almost two years ago?
Barely 25 years old, Zaho de Sagazan has won over audiences in France and beyond, with her style that is both intimate and energetic, which mixes the depth of French song and the danceable rhythms of electro.
His only album, released last November with additional tracks, has just been certified double platinum, or 200,000 sales, a real feat in the current context.
After New York, San Francisco, and the Louvre Pyramid last week, the young woman from Nantes is arriving in Chartres this Thursday, in a Coliseum which will certainly break attendance records, since it is in maximum configuration, i.e. 6,000 seats .
All the seats have been taken for months, but there are still a handful of tickets for sale in the standing pit.
After Chartres, the singer will go to Great Britain, Germany, the Netherlands, Canada… She is in demand everywhere! Not sure she will return to Eure-et-Loir anytime soon.
2/ Paul Mirabel
He’s the number 1 comedian of the moment. The Montpellier man is not yet 30 years old, but he is in demand everywhere.
Immersed in a very competitive environment, where many comedians try to find a place in the sun, Paul Mirabel is very often sold out, and this will be the case at the Colisée this Saturday, where all the places sold out in a few days.
How to explain such success? It is probably his offbeat tone, a mixture of shyness and awkwardness, which makes him a unique case. Far from the athletic style and fitting in with other stars of the genre, like Jérémy Ferrari, Paul Mirabel is more discreet, more self-effacing. And yet, it works.
You just have to look at the sketch that launched it, I was made a racketeer, viewed more than 27 million times to realize it: the young man is not like the others, and that’s what makes him makes one of the big names of the moment.
With this second one-man show, Par amour, he opens up a little more and shares his vision of complex, disconcerting human relationships… But he does it, of course, with a smile.
For those who could not find places for Chartres, another date is planned a little further away, in Rambouillet, in Yvelines, on March 13. But here too, it’s extremely complete, like the entire 2025 tour. That’s what we call having the wind in our sails…
