With a million tickets sold in more than 50 countries and acclaimed reviews worldwide PIAF! THE SHOW – a musical celebration of the life and music of the legendary French chanteuse EDITH PIAF – actually in world tour.

The highlight of the American leg of a 300-performance global tour was the special presentation at Carnegie Hall on January 6, 2017 on the 60th anniversary of Edith Piaf’s last performance at the famous venue.

Conceived and directed by the Nice-based theatrical maverick Gil Marsalla and starring Anne Carrere, a young French performer hailed as “Edith Piaf’s legitimate musical heiress” PIAF ! THE SHOW premiered in 2015 as a tribute to “The Swallow of Montmartre” on the centennial on her birthday and was inspired by the award-winning movie La Vie En Rose.

In two 45-minutes acts, the show narrates the rags-to-riches story of the Parisian singer’s career through her unforgettable songs, complemented by a visual tapestry of previously unreleased photographs and images of famous Parisian locations of the Edith Piaf era.

What would it look like to remember that we are all related? How might we become better relatives to the land, to one another, and to Indigenous movements for solidarity?

Patty Krawec crafts a stunning, forceful call to "unforget" our history. Join her in an intimate sojourn through Native and settler history, myth, identity, and spirituality. You'll walk away with a call to retrace your steps and pick up what was lost along the way: chances to honour rather than violate treaties, see the land as a relative rather than a resource, and unravel the history we have been taught. 

Krawec is the author of Becoming Kin: An Indigenous Call to Unforgetting the Past and Reimagining Our Future. Weaving her own story with the story of her ancestors and broader themes of creation, replacement, and disappearance, Krawec helps readers see settler colonialism through the eyes of an Indigenous writer. Settler colonialism tried to force us into one particular way of living, but the old ways of kinship can help us imagine a different future. Krawec's memoir braids together historical, scientific, and cultural analysis, with Indigenous ways of knowing, and vivid threads of communal memory.

Presented in partnership with A Different Drummer Books. A Different Drummer Books will be onsite selling books for signing after the talk.
