Francis Lalanne: "I decided not to be rich!"

Music

French singer Francis Lalanne, who lives in Belgium again, is back on stage in his favorite country.

"I have the impression that we want to lose poetry today, deplores Francis Lalanne, the committed to free art, who returns to his first love with his poetic recital entitled From love memory (Tonight at the Fou Laughs of Brussels). Because it is precisely the art that keeps people in a state of freedom. In the cinema, you are imposed a vision. In the theater or dance, there is a staging. As for the writer's speech, there is always something that drives our imagination. But not in poetry, there is complete freedom. I always say that there is the author poet and the poet reader. When I write something, I do not know what I wrote because I do not know what I'm going to write … I put an image on an emotion and it is this mystery of poetry that makes it an essential art . Especially here I mixed it with the song and the melody. "

We also say that we are more free in Belgium than elsewhere?
