100th anniversary Piaf exhibition
Print Edition
AN exhibition dedicated to French singer Edith Piaf, whose ballads of love and sorrow made her an international star, has opened in Paris to mark 100 years since her birth.
Hundreds of posters, letters, manuscripts, photographs, film clips and her signature black dress are among 400 items on display at the National Library of France.
“Piaf,” which opened on Tuesday, retraces the singer’s life, from her beginnings as the daughter of travelling performers to fame.
Each visitor is equipped with an audio device guiding them through themes such as “A woman of the people,” “A voice,” “A hymn to love” and “Piaf, the phenomenon and the legend.”
“Visitors are immersed in Piaf’s world, or worlds, as there are several,” exhibition curator Joel Huthwohl said.
“So we hope they are surprised from start to finish.”
The exhibition runs until August 23.
