A multi-disciplinary festival paying tribute to the great artists resting in Père-Lachaise Cemetery
From Bizet to Jim Morrison, from Molière to Oscar Wilde, from Isadora Duncan to the Can Can!
Inspired by Carolyn Campbell’s bestselling book “City of Immortals” the multi-disciplinary festival pays tribute to the great artists resting in Père-Lachaise Cemetery.
Living artists will interpret the works of great composers, poets, vocalists, dancers and visual artists who long ago found fame with their artistic achievements, and whose art lives on today. Enduring masterworks from Chopin, Poulenc, Bizet, Grappelli, Isadora Duncan, and many more are brought together on stage in an eclectic mix of artistic styles and genres with a Can-Can finale!
Carolyn Campbell, an expert on Père Lachaise, will be onsite and on stage for a presentation, a Q&A, and a book signing. Attendees will encounter the great artists buried in Père-Lachaise and will get a glimpse into their secret intrigues and forbidden passions that scandalized the public at the time.
