Jacques and Madeleine
Our hapless character Jacques has proved to be his own Department of Lost and Found Love. Crossing the French speaking world on either side of the Atlantic, Jacques has taken us on an emotional journey, rendered with a palette of some of the most exquisite French songs written.
But what has Jacques learnt of love and life over 2 SOLD OUT Fringe seasons? Will he finally find that Sally for his Harry, Edith for his Marcel? We will find out in this final installment of the Jacques Trilogy, which features more beautiful French, Quebecois and Cajun songs than you can point a baguette at.
Featuring the fabulous 6 piece Les Flâneurs Volants.

★★★★ "a fun, light-hearted evening of French chanson" Matilda Marseillaise
Presented by: Les Flâneurs Volants
With a French soul bronzed by the Adelaide sun, Les Flâneurs Volants revels in engaging audiences through song, story and fun, evoking emotions ranging from la joie de vivre to the despair of love lost… Très French, non ? And seduction? Mais oui… along the way the melodic French music seduces the audience into unabashed singalong and engagement.
Covering music from the French diaspora over time and place, Les Flâneurs Volants features evocative singer Jean-Marc Spiler, as Franco-Aussie as a croissant with Vegemite, pumping accordionist/keyboardist Steve Oppes, Euro-jazz guitarist John Denlay, redoubtable bass fiddler Ian Davis, cool cat sax/clarinet player Nick Jones and rising star drummer Lewis Todd.
