Frank Cools & Florian De Schepper
Nathalie; of course! Et maintenant; oh yessssssss! L’important c’est la rose, C’est en septembre, Je reviens te chercher… Bécaud, ‘Monsieur 100.000 Volts’, sang these songs with boundless energy. His passion for women, cigarettes and whisky was legendary.
Frank Sinatra, Nina Simone, Bob Dylan, Marlène Dietrich; they have all sung Bécaud. And now so do Frank Cools and Florian De Schepper, who opt for the purest form. With just a voice and a guitar, BÉCAUD – like their acclaimed theatre concert AZNAVOUR – becomes an evening full of beauty, familiar favourites and surprises.
Flemish actor and singer Frank Cools has performed in almost every theatre in Flanders and the Netherlands. He has sung both chanson and sentimental Dutch ballads, made many children’s shows and often appeared solo on stage as an actor performing classic texts. With minimal means, he gets right to the essence.
Florian De Schepper is a classical guitarist but sees himself more as a chameleon; a travelling troubadour who can swing like no other in folk and a range of other styles.
