Presentation
” Joséphine Baker le musical Joséphine Baker le musical” rediscovers the dazzling artist, with her extraordinary talents as a dancer and singer, and as a precursor of hip hop.
Married at 13, from the black ghetto of Saint Louis, Missouri, young Joséphine arrived in France and became the icon of Paris in the Roaring Twenties. She joined the Resistance and came to symbolize the great universal woman recently celebrated at the Panthéon…
We meet her partners (Sydney Bechet, Jean Gabin), her lovers (Paul Colin, Pépito), her husbands (Willie Baker, Jo Bouillon) and the heroes who, like her, didn’t hesitate to put their lives in danger to save Jews and thwart Nazi plans. She was a lifelong campaigner against racial segregation, joining Martin Luther King Jr. and adopting 12 children of all origins to create her rainbow tribe!
