Description
What if a leading 19th-century author were to meet French rap? A hybrid, mischievous one-man show – brilliant and inventive.
Bart has a brainwave! If Victor Hugo were alive today, he’d be the king of rappers: the ‘GOAT’ (greatest of all time)! And the world needs to know this. How? By writing a rap song to tell the story of the man of letters.
Combining interactive stand-up, a cast of characters and a talk that’s as funny as it is erudite, Bart delivers a performance that defies categorisation. Engaging in dialogue with the author and exploring a life straight out of a novel (his political speeches, the ‘Battle of Hernani’, the death of his daughter Léopoldine), he crafts a powerful rap… with the help of some prestigious guests such as Jul, PNL and Kery James!
